I see so many units online, that to be honest.. I don't know which I need.

Bascially, I have a 4g wire from my battery.. and I need to power 3 amps with 4g wire. And one amp with 8g wire.

So I need one input, and 4 outs? Can anyone point me in the right direction where to get that?.

I'm going to also be powering 2 Audio Control Units as well, each has 16 gauge power wires, would that be wired into the block as well?.. or can I run those directly from the postive post of my cap?

Thanks guys!!

OK, first off, if you have three amps that need 4 gage and one that needs 8 gage wire, then you will need more than 4 gage to the battery.  What are the actual current demands of the four amps?

Your second questions is much easier.  You can power your AC units from pretty much anywhere you can get +12V as they draw low amperage.

You're right on what kind of distrobution block u need. Try one of these for all of your amps and then tying the power cables from the audio control to your radio lead or any power lead close to them.

Opps.. my bad. Just took a look at the power cable ran to the battery.. it says 2g on it.. so it's 2 gauge. Sorry. Each of the 3 amps with 4g are Kenwood KAC-924's I believe, the 4th amp is a JL Audio 300/1 with 8g.

Would that streetwires block do the trick?. Are there any cheaper then that with a 2g input and (4) 4g/8g outputs?.
