For the doors and rear speakers use a 8 gauge amp kit and for the subs I would use 2 or 4 gauge amp kit, depending on what your willing to spend on wires. 2 is best 4 will work. ------------- ---- 1996 Chevy S10 ----

for something like that you will basically have to build your own kit. most prefab kits come with only one size wire. as another alternative to what superstreet said you could run a 2ga. wire to a distro block then spilt off the distro with a 2ga. wire and a 8ga. wire going to your amps. You could substitute the 2ga for 4 ga but im not sure that would benefit your 1200.1 amp.

maybe put a 200amp at the battery and then seperate fuses after the distro block, using maybe a 100 amp for the 1200.1 and a 50 amp for the fosgate. just a suggestion.

You could start with a kit like this and buy a distrobution block and some 4 gauge power cable.

both amps would be under the seat so that would make the distance from teh amp to teh dist block very short so in that case can i run a 4gauge from the amp to dist block for teh jbl 1200.1 then 2 guage form the dist block to teh battery

Audiopipe sells a 4 awg amp kit that is reasonable $60. I got one and it came with a DB block for two amps, 4 awg power wire, 3-60 amp Fuses / fuse holder, 20' of 16 wag speaker wire, and one RCA cable about 10' (can't remember). I have two amps coming off my Block with 8 awg on them and 4 awg running to the battery. 2 or 4 awg will work.
