(Need other specs, ask away ...)

Needing to cable the above RF amps, ... Which of the following options would you choose?

1.) Install TWO POS runs of Knu Kolossus Fleks 4awg ... one run for each amp, along with ONE NEG run of Knu Fleks 4awg to a distribution block, then ground each amp from there.

or,

2.) Install ONE POS run of Knu Fleks 1/0, to a dist block, then 4awg Knu Fleks to each amp, along with ONE NEG run of Knu Fleks 4awg to a distribution block, then ground each amp from there.

If these were your only two options, ... which one would you choose ... TWO of 4awg, or ONE of 1/0??

Option 2 but you want to ground the distro. with 1/0 and then 4ga to the amp grounds.

If you don't have an option to ground properly then save up until you can.

The best shortcut when doing you electrical is to do it right the first time.
