i am planning on installing 2 amps in my car. the amp powering my subs is a Hinfonics BX1500D monoblock amp. The amp Powering my mids and tweeters is a Autotek Super Sport 600 watt 4 channel amp. I am very new to car audio and im a little confuse on the install.
1. do i run 2 power wires from the battery to amps? will this drain my battery faster?
2. My co-worker told me about a "distribution block." if i understood him correctly, this product allows you to use one power cable running from the battery and spliting to 2 or more smaller gauge wires at the other end right?
3. Will using a distibution block "lessen" the amount of power going to each amp?
4. Both my amp requires a 4 gauge power/ground wire. will it be OK if i run a 4 gauge power wire, use a distribution block that spilits two 8 gauge wire at the end of the block? or should i go with a 0 gauge split to 4 gauge distribuition block?
5. Are there any advantages or disadvantages for useing 0 gauge over a 4 gauge?
thanks alot
