    power wire and fuse question for 2 amps

    I'm starting to get supplies for a stereo for my e28 m5. i'm planning on running a jl 250/1 amp for the sub and a nakamichi pa304 (4x45) for the speakers. any input as to what size power wire and fuse i should run to the distribution block and then what size power wire to the amps? i don't have any manuals for either amp and don't want to undersize anything.
    thanks.

      thanks!
      so 4 gauge to the dist block and than 8 gauge to the amps is enough? and a 96 amp fuse or something close to it?
      just want someone to verify this...

          i'd use a fuse before each amp after the dist block.

            Fuse main wire right next to batt, run it to fused distro block in the trunk, 4 ga to amps if you can fit it in.
