New member Username: Phantomlord2kPost Number: 10 Registered: Jul-06 | What size power cables will be needed? Do I need a dist block or something else to power them both? If I have a 0/1 coming from the battery, do I still need 0/1 for the amps or will 4 work? |

Bronze Member Username: Phantomlord2kPost Number: 11 Registered: Jul-06 | What would the good/bad be between running a 0 gauge from battery to distro and 4 gauge to amps or running 2 4 gauge from battery to each amp? I currently have a 4 gauge running from battery to old amp right now, that's why I'm asking. Don't want to spend extra money if I don't need to. Thanks everyone! |

That block comes with different settings so you can run 4 in and an 8 and a 4 out thats what i have now |

Silver Member Username: StnorrisEldridge, IA US Post Number: 785 Registered: Apr-06 | i would rather do the distro block. it will be easier to hook up the battery, than tryin to do 2 4awg. lolllll. scratch what i said before. |

Bronze Member Username: Phantomlord2kPost Number: 13 Registered: Jul-06 | I think I've decided to do the 0 from battery to dist block and then 2 4's to the amps. I already have plenty of 4 from my current setup to go to the amps. What's the best way to wire the remote turn on for 2 amps? Thanks. |

Bronze Member Username: Phantomlord2kPost Number: 14 Registered: Jul-06 | Sorry for so many questions, but I just thought of something while shopping for the dist block. What size fuses should I use in the dist block and coming off the battery? |
