I have 8ga. power going to the back/Org.I got the wireing packedge for 350 watts if this helps. The amp it is normalily connected to is a SONY 600 watt amp. I currently have 1 12" Sony. peak 1100 watts. My question to you professionals is there anyway i can run a second AMP the same as i have and not be worried about pulling to much power through my power wire causeing it to heat/melt/Fire? Or do i need to be rewired for more watts? Thank You,

what amp you got and what's it putting out?
for future reference, when refering to amps/subs, always go rms, peak doesn't mean anything.

and i'm not an expert or anything but if your even concerned just move up to 4 gauge.

8ga is TINY! I have used that as sub wire and NOT power wire before! You will need to upgrade your wire size runing from the front to the back, with a new fuse to protect that wire!
Atleast 4ga wire!

Could i just wire it for 1000 RMS from a new car batt. in the trunk, instead of running a whole new power the length of the car?. I wanted to mabye just jump the ground there on the current AMP and also the same for the RCA and remote. Is this at all ok to do?

....uh, you're asking to set something on fire...

just got with a new 4ga amp kit...getting cheap wire is the worst thing you can possibly do.
