Proper power wiring for my sound system?

Hey guys!

Ok, Im about to get two amps for my pickup (JL Audio Slash v2 300/2v2 & JL Audio G1700). I plan on putting them under my seats and both will be powered by 4 gauge cable.

My question is this, what scenario would be better (electrically speaking only):

1. I run a 0 gauge from the battery into a distribution block with two 4 gauge outputs to my amps (all fuses will be properly placed).

2. I just run the two 4 gauge cables from my battery directly to the amps (all fuses will be properly placed).

I'd go the 1/0 gauge way, in case you ever wanted to upgrade amplifiers in the future

x2, and it will limit the amount of connections you have leaving your battery and long wire you have to run.

I agree. A run of 0/1 to a distribution block.

i'd go with option 1 as well

You guys make a good point. I will most definitely go with option #1 then.

Thanks a lot for the input guys!
