audio wiring?

Quick question, I'm about to wire my amp. Is it better to run one large guage wire and split it or two smaller guage wires from the batter if i'm going to be running 2 amps?

1 4 gauge wire is better......then split it from a distribution block.

4 gauge wire can handle higher amperage than an 8 gauge wire over long distances.....

the higher the amperage at the end of the wire, the more power for your amps. Thus, more power = louder, harder hitting bass and less distortion
