Power?

Hi,

I have read the various articles relating to Power in I.C.E setups, but, I just want to hear some first hand advice;

I have 2 Amps, 1 @350 Watt (2Ch) and 1 |@ 440Watt (4Ch), the 2 Ch feeds the subs and the 4Ch feeds the speakers.

Now I have built an Amp rack that sits in the front boot of a MR2, so my main Power connecter from the batt (behind amp rack) to the rack itself is only approx 3 to 4 ft, that goes to a 2 way distribution block (30 Amp Fused) which then feeds the Amps.  Forgot to mention from Sitting between Batt and Dist block is a 60Amp fuse (last nights advice).

I have used 8Awg Cable purchased from Maplins (the fancy stuff), given my wattage and the minimal length of the power cable, do you think 8Awg will suffice.  I have no intention of having the system blasting, purely my OWN listening pleasure.

Any advice is really welcome.

check your amp manuals and see what their bottom end recommendation it. i would go at least 2 guage from the batt to distubiton and then the gauge the manufacture recommends
