Default Can I hook it up this way???

Well I just Recently out an new deck an eq (both kenwood it that matters) well my little brother just hooked me up with a pioneer 400watt 4 channel from his werk an i already have a infinity bassklink from my old car I like it cause of the size... well i will be relocating my battery to the trunk for cosmetic purposes ( i think it cool if any one want to know)

original plan was to buy 2 amp kits.. one 4 channel and one sub amp kit.... well

New Plan (maybe) I was told that I could do it with one kit (4 gauge) a distribtion block and a prolly another power wire an 3 sets of rca's (for my amp an basslink )

Well something close to that... Hopefully some can understand an correct me if i am wrong thanks peace

Yes, you can use one amp kit with a distribution block.

Just get one amp kit of proper guage wiring. 2 wiring kits is a waste. Also ground both amps to the same location to avoid a potential ground difference (possible noise in system).

So do you guys think a 4 gauge kit is enough, and also does it matter what kind of Rca's that i get??? thanks

better off with 4 guage, this way you can run X amps off of the same power wire and just divide it at the distribution block.

Right now I have one kit (4 gauge) running two amps (Rockford Fosgate 250a2 and a Rockford Fosgate 400a4) and I have no problems with it.

Brand doesnt matter really, but if you're a brand ***** go with pheonix gold (if they're still around) But just make sure it accepts atleast 4 guage and has outputs for atleast 10-12 guage
