I have a new memphis 1000d wired with a 4-gauge memphis kit. Can I wire a memphis 4channel with a distrubution block or another cable directly from th battery?

That will be fine...the 1000D is fused at 80 amps so it should be fine...I don't see the 4 gauge being overloaded

Hell my friend has two 1000D's with one run of 4 gauge

Wondering because I was told that when I add my componets(thinking about polk audio) and the mca 300/4 4channel in addition to the 1000d that I may need another 4gauge from the battery. I'm still a novice in installing my equipment so I try to be as careful as possible to do everything just right.

Thanks for the replies.
