Post What gauge wire to use?

Well, I got 2 amps, 1 250 watt one and a 500 watt amp. Powering 3 10" subs, what guage wire do I need for amp and the wire from the amp to the subs?

4awg from the battery to a D-block. 8awg from the D-block to each amp. 8awg for each amp's ground. Both grounded to a common place.

Go for 1 4 guage input into 2 8 guage output distrobution block. Something like the SXPK4DANL on

www.thezeb.com/caraudio/lightningaudioampkits.html

should do fine. It is a dual amp wiring kit, and a good one.
