i'm going to be runnning two amps....one is a rockford amp 2 channel runnign at 2 ohms each channel for the interior speakers and the other amp is a bazooka ELA500.1 running at 500W@2ohms rms.....i plan on running a 4 gauge power wire from the battery to a distribution block then split two 8 gauge wires to each amp...will the 8 gauge wire be enough for both amps? if not what and how should i run power wires to these amps?

what kinda power is the RF putting out? 8 gauge for the bazooka should be fine, but the RF might need a little more.

the rockford is just small punch 2 channel amp running at 2ohms each channel..i was more worried about the bazooka mono amp running 500wrms....but you think the 8 gauge wire will be okay?
