I am in the process of rewiring my car audio and would like some advice.
I have a 0 Gauge cable to feed my sub amp and a 4 Gauge cable to feed my main amp. Both are seperate feeds from the battery.
Is there any disadvantage to using the 0 Gauge cable to run the length of the car and then spli it to 2 4 Gauge cables, one for each amp.
The 0 Gauge cable is capable of carrying the current for both amps.
I dont want to compromise the quality in any way.

Main amp is an Alpine MRV F340, bass amp is JL 1000/1.
All cabling is Stinger.

Thanks
Geoff

Just be sure that all of the connections are of good to high quality, and you ahould have no problems.

If it don't fit, Force it.
If it breaks, You needed a new one anyway!
