that would be ok as long as your running a fuse on the power cable to the battery. i'd suggest that u get a distribution block with fuses just to be on the safe side. like what integraz said get the jaycar distrubition block their best value for money.

from what i know... if u want to run power more that 400WRMS... u need to get at least 4 gauge wiring.. if not... then they would not sound on their maximum potential... but it's ur choice... it's gonna be alot more work if u wanna do it... but from what i think... do the hardwork and u'll going to really enjoy it later...
i'll keep that in mindQuote:

remember though... it WRMS not max watt... it's different... usually it's on the box of each items...Quote:

yeh spot on dude....its becoz u get more power flowing thru in a 4 gauge than an 8 gauge, therefore more sound power....but none the less 8gauge from battery all the way to both amps will still do the job....just not as efficient, or as powerfulQuote:

dont worry, i found my answer....earthing cable has to be same size as power cable or thicker...i should be all set now
Got it
just remember to earth to a good clean earth point on bare metal.
yeah, will do...i'll probably sand down some paint in the boot and bolt the earthing cable there
