which way to wire

deadz67 · 09-03-2009, 11:16 PM

yo!
i`m gonna run wire this wknd to my hatchback, but not sure which route to take. amp is an MTX MXA4001 class d , but i don`t know if it accepts 4 ga wire.if it does , should i wire it direct with 4 ga , & 8 ga to my front amp, or just run 4 ga & get a dist. block & split off 2 8 ga from there
Don`t think 4 ga will fit under the door sills either....

run it under the carpet then... through the firewall then under the carpet to the hatch. I would use 4ga then distro block.

gracias to all amigos,
i actually stopped @ my local car audio store today & decided with sales guy that since i already have 8 gauge run from the battery to rear now i am just going to run 4 gauge beside it to sub amp & use the 8 for my 2way high pass amp.
you guys rock on the quick responses though!!!!
