Im planing to add a sub to my boat this winter, and need to add an additional amp... and possibly another in the future for tower speakers... My other amp uses 8 guage power wire, and the new one recommends 8 guage power wire, should I run a heavier guage wire to a distribution block, and split it to 2(3 if i do tower amp) 8 guage wires, if so, do I still use the higher of the recommended fuse for both amps on the wire before the distro block or run 2(3 if i do tower amp) seperate 8 guage wires to each amp from the battery, each with its own fuse or rewire with 2(3 if i do tower amp) 4 guage wires to each amp from the battery, each with own fuse to allow for future upgrades... would overkill on the wire hurt anything? Any issue with either of these... Im leaning for the second or third as I already have extra wire from my previous install. Thanks
