tony187soundproof Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 So here is my question, I have ofc 4 gauge ran from the front to my back battery. Right now I only have 1 -1000 watt mono block for my sub. I want to power my door speakers with a 4 channel amp. Should I run 0 gauge to a distro block and continue 0 to my power cell and use the 4 gauge for my door speaker amp. Or should I just do another run of 4 gauge to my second amp. 08 f-150 foose edition Roush supercharger 22'' foose chrome rims Carriage Works brushed billet grill Elite tonneau cover ZeeZ underbody led multi color glow kit Black horse racing electric exhaust cutout Crown suspension rear lowering shackles Eibach coil springs and leaf springs Pioneer DEH-x3800s cd player audiopipe 200 watt crossovers 4 mclaren 5x7 250 watts speakers 4 soundstream 150 watt dome tweeters Audiopipe Apcl-1000 mono amp 1-Sundown audio 15"sa Box built by concept enclosures tuned to 35 hz with spare 32hz aero ports 1-xs power 950 battery All skyhigh audio,power,ground,RCA,speaker, remote turn on home set-up Onkyo receiver tx-DS676 5.1 575 watts KLH 5 disc cd player Optonica 220 watt amp optimus 10-band EQ 2-floor standing technics speakers-10in w/mids 1-10in polk audio psw100 powered subwoofer 2-bowers & wilkins dm-17 bookshelf speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkarredSierra Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Depending on the fuse ratings of the 2 combined amps you could use 4 gauge. I use ofc 4 gauge for 2 amps. The combined fuses of both amps are only 130 amps at most. Im sure i only pull around 90 to 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony187soundproof Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 The combined amps is 120 08 f-150 foose edition Roush supercharger 22'' foose chrome rims Carriage Works brushed billet grill Elite tonneau cover ZeeZ underbody led multi color glow kit Black horse racing electric exhaust cutout Crown suspension rear lowering shackles Eibach coil springs and leaf springs Pioneer DEH-x3800s cd player audiopipe 200 watt crossovers 4 mclaren 5x7 250 watts speakers 4 soundstream 150 watt dome tweeters Audiopipe Apcl-1000 mono amp 1-Sundown audio 15"sa Box built by concept enclosures tuned to 35 hz with spare 32hz aero ports 1-xs power 950 battery All skyhigh audio,power,ground,RCA,speaker, remote turn on home set-up Onkyo receiver tx-DS676 5.1 575 watts KLH 5 disc cd player Optonica 220 watt amp optimus 10-band EQ 2-floor standing technics speakers-10in w/mids 1-10in polk audio psw100 powered subwoofer 2-bowers & wilkins dm-17 bookshelf speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkarredSierra Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Id say you should be good. You could do 0 gauge but it isnt needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CstrokerV Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 if you ever plan on upgrading i would run a 0 guage now. 4 guage is normally only rated at 150 amps and thats over sized wire like knukoncepts.. if your wire is cca then you need to upgrade your wire my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 If its OFC wiring you should be fine, besides the mass majority of your amps draw will come directly from the rear battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony187soundproof Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Yes it's skyhigh ofc, my plan is to put in a distro block before my rear battery and branch off to the door speaker amp. If anyone has a better idea I'm all ears, thanks 08 f-150 foose edition Roush supercharger 22'' foose chrome rims Carriage Works brushed billet grill Elite tonneau cover ZeeZ underbody led multi color glow kit Black horse racing electric exhaust cutout Crown suspension rear lowering shackles Eibach coil springs and leaf springs Pioneer DEH-x3800s cd player audiopipe 200 watt crossovers 4 mclaren 5x7 250 watts speakers 4 soundstream 150 watt dome tweeters Audiopipe Apcl-1000 mono amp 1-Sundown audio 15"sa Box built by concept enclosures tuned to 35 hz with spare 32hz aero ports 1-xs power 950 battery All skyhigh audio,power,ground,RCA,speaker, remote turn on home set-up Onkyo receiver tx-DS676 5.1 575 watts KLH 5 disc cd player Optonica 220 watt amp optimus 10-band EQ 2-floor standing technics speakers-10in w/mids 1-10in polk audio psw100 powered subwoofer 2-bowers & wilkins dm-17 bookshelf speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems rather pointless imo when you can just attach a second 4awg cable for the other amp directly to the battery. Realistically you can put as many ring terminals with wires connected to the battery that you can fit as long as your able to screw the allen bolt down tightly... Or just buy battery blocks to bolt onto the battery then connect the wires to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
