Get a fused distributive block. Then run 4Gauge into the distributive block, and you can either run a 4 gauge out or a 8 gauge out to the amp. Make sure that the same gauge wire you use to power the amps, is the same gauge as the wire to ground the amp. Hope I Helped. :-D |

um... not sure if that’s peak power or not but if its a combined RMS of 3,600 watts using the two amps 4 gauge cable will definitely NOT cut it to well; go down to 0/1. |
