[QUOTE="JiMi_DRiX, post: 852558, member: 12314"] I'm finally going to put the front component system in my car, but I'm going to have to run an additional amp. (one 4ch, and one 2ch for the sub) I currently have an 8gauge wire for power. Now after some research and all, I'm not sure what to do for splitting it into two power sources. Can I run the 8, and split it into two more 8's with a distribution block? Or do I absolutely have to run a 4gauge, and split it into two 8's? They are not huge amps. And for the remote wire to turn the amps on, I read that I can just run a jumper from one amp to the other, instead of running two remote wires from the stereo? I think that covers everything at the moment! [/QUOTE]
