Default need help??

Well the problem is that I am running two amps.. one is 100 watts and the other 300 watts. The 300 watts amp is pushing 4 tweets though it's only a two channel amp. The 100 watt amp is pushing my 8" bazooka tube. When I try to crank up the volume the sub seems to draw more power to the smaller amp, making the tweets sound distorted. How do I fix this?? Anyone?? I'm running 10 gauge power and ground for each amp also. Thanks ahead guys.

For one, use 4 awg power wire and a distrib block that breaks it into two 8 awg wire for the two amps. For another, run the 300 watt amp to the sub and run the 100 watt amp to the tweets. Of course a sub draws more power, it does handle anywhere from 200-1000W. Tweets aren't really meant for that much power. Switch the amp connections and teh power cable and you shoudl be good to go.
