wire thickness question

Hey, I'm currently running a 4 AWG wire from my battery to my trunk, and its powering my Alpine MRD M605 (600 watts rms 900 MAX) amp. I was wondering if it would be an issue for me to run two ADS PQ 10 amps off of this as well (2 channels @90 watts each for each amplifier).

You should be fine with 4 awg. I personally have 1/0 awg in my car, not because I "need" it per say, but having larger wire cuts down the resistance that the current has to travel.

not to beat a dead horse... but
did you decide on a subwoofer? and if you can, go bigger wire gauge.
you may want to upgrade later and wont have to run new wire.
( personal experience)

I'm probably getting the JL audio 10w6v2... listening to one tomorro
As far as the wire goes, I have 10 awg wire that i can run from the battery seperate for the two ADS amps, but 4 awg is fine id rather not run more wires...

I second the 4awg. You will be good.
