Just run a 0 gauge wire to a distribution block and split it off into whatever you want. And when you take that 4 gauge power wire back, just keep on truckin back to spelling class!!! |

Knukonceptz makes good wire you can get it off of ebay or www.knukonceptz.com the walmart wiring kits arent very good. |

Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 395 Registered: Sep-04 | actually 0 gauge has more strands than 2 4 gauge wires... so a 0 gauge wire is better than 2 4 gauge wires... although right now i have 4 ga going back and i like my fuse holder, it tells me the volts but only accepts up to 4 ga... so i am going to run a 2nd 4 ga wire back. one for the 300/4 and one for the 1000/1 ... i;ll just have to get another fuse block for the 2nd wire, but the 2nd wont be digital and expensive. |

Only thing you could call bad about the Walmart kits are the RCA cables. Yes, some more expensive wire might have more strands, but your never gonna notice a difference from using a Knukontepz kit from a Walmart kit. |
