Default wiring system

hey guys, curious as to how i am going to wire my new setup. I have 2 amps now (one for subs and one for comps) so i need a distributor block, is there anything else i should get? I believe my power wire is 4 gauge coming off the battery. Thanks!

capacitor and depending on how many amps you think you're gonna be putting out, a thicker power wire with a ground wire being the same thickness

Capacitors are a hugegantic waste of money and installation time.

You will need to run 4 gauge off the battery and split it into dual 8 guage at a dbock as close as possible to the amps.

Also, make sure that you use the same gauge wire as a ground as you have power wire feeding your amp.

BTW, I always like to get a fused dblock. It is one more level of protection.
