    you shouldl be fine. i run all knukonceptz wires too, and they are much better quality then monsterwire. i had 4 guage running a xtant amp @ 75x2 and 300x1 with a 100 amp fuse on that amp and i never had a problem, no headlight dimming or anything.

    Why not just wire them to your ignition like normal?

    i'm not familiar with the dsatx, but if you're using a relay you can wire more then two amps to a single relay w/o a problem.

    If you are using a relay to drive the remote turn on, then there should be enough juice. That is for each of them on at the same time of course.

    Because that would make a thump sound maybe when windows initializes its sound devices.

    after reading the posts here is what i understand correct me if i am wrong:

    i need a 12V 30amp SDPT relay

    85--> 12V
    86-->Dsatx
    30-->Amp Lead #1
    87-->Amp Lead #2

    does this sound right?

    and how big of a fuse should i put in bront of the distro block, 125?

    Right relay, wrong wiring.

    85 - Remote lead from DSATX
    86 - Ground
    87 - +12V
    30 - Remote leads to both amps

    As for the fuse, add up the max current each component in the circuit will use (the built-in fuses on the amps will give you an idea each one's max current consumption) and use the same size fuse (or next size up if there's not an exact match).
