Wire to small amps from one battery , 2 power wire kits one to each amp??? I'm buying in one hour please help ?

Question

I have a small amp 300 rms and another 300 rms and want to run subs on both amps. I have one set up with 8 G wire kit already running fine. Can I buy another 8 G kit and run it to my other amp ? This seems cheaper to me and easier as I can just have 2 wire kits running and one to each amp and a fuse by battery's for each powwrr wire to each amp.

Is this OK ????

Second if I get a a distribution block can I run it a 8 gauge to it then 2 8's commong out one to each amp ? Or do I need a 4 g wire to the block and 2 8's coming out. Too me it seems easier to just buy a 8 g kit again and run it to my 2nd amp as its a 8g amp anyway and both amps are small. Like 150 to each sub I get on one amp and the second I may use one sub to run off it or two idk yet.

So a 8g kit is like 25 and seems like less of a problem , I can car less about wires all over or running two power wires.

I realize you already bought, but yes running two separate 8 awg's is fine as long as they're fused individually at the battery. With 300w amps 8 awg should be plenty. And if you're buying legitimate 8 awg amp kits you should get at least a 40A fuse which will also work fine.

Personally, I'd prefer 4 awg (don't split 8 awg for 600w rms) to a d-block mainly for neatness, but either way is fine.

It did work fine , just used 2 wiring kits. Thanks , maybe if I go with 3 amps I will use a block for neatness but was cheaper to just run another kit.
