What you need is a 2 amp installation kit.

Your Boss amp is over-rated. It "claims" to be as powerful as 1850w rms at 2 ohms. It is supposed to be stable at 1 ohm, but doesn't list a power specification.

The fact of the matter is, with 3x35A fuses it is not likely the amp can produce more than 1200w or so.

As far as wiring -- 1000-1200w puts you well into the 4 awg range, and since your 2nd amp isn't that big you can probably get by with a 4 gauge two amp wiring kit. A fully stocked kit should give you 15-20' of 4 ga wire, a power distribution block that will split your 4 ga wire into two 8 gauge wires. You will also get ground wiring, signal (rca) wires, a remote wire, and sometimes speaker wiring.

However, if you want to go the extra mile a 1/0 kit wouldn't be a bad idea, but it would be more expensive.



Here's a REAL nice 1/0 kit. http://cgi.ebay.com/TSUNAMI-1-0-4-AWG-GAUGE-DUAL-AMP-WIRING-KIT-DIST-BLOCK_W0QQitemZ390086610931QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5ad2f94ff3#ht_3496wt_1165



And a 4 awg option:

Here's some wiring kits you can choose from, this will at least run you from the battery to the back where you'll have the amps at.

You can buy power distributors on that site also which you can use to split that 0 gauge up into more amps.

Just get some 0/1 AWG. Like a spool of it. The amp you have is horrible, and you probably won't get 1350 wRMS out of it. Remember the bigger the cable the better.
