Help with Power Cords?

Ok, Here's the dilemma. I have two amps, a 60x4 RMS requiring at least a 10 gauge and a 200x2 RMS requiring at least a 4 gauge. Both will be unbridged at 4 omhs. I don't want to run two power cords from the battery or put any heavier gauge than a 4 through the car for fear of the carpet humping up. I would rather use a distribution block, but they all call for a heavier gauge between the battery and the block. This meaning. I would have to run a 0 gauge to the block in order to get a couple 4's out the other end. Is that a must or is there another way? I need help! What's a good solution?

Don't be such a d!ck, just a word of advice.

Ok, here's what you will need to do then.

Run both of your amps using this wire for both amps



into this distro block



...and since you don't want to run bigger than 4AWG to your battery, YOU MUST USE THIS WIRE.

Thanks for the advice. As for the d!ck part, I strongly disagree. Just looking for a little help before my post drops 30 deep on the form page(s). Never to be heard from again.

Alternatives to acting like a d!ck, which you did, would include any of the following responses, each of which satisfies the 10-character criteria of 'character minimum per post':

0123456789
1234567890
buuuuuuump
bump to the top
and back to the top we go

But on another note, you will love the wire from knukonceptz...awesome strand count, incredible flexibility, what more could you want in a wire?
