Ok I ditched the 12" infinity perfect idea and bought a E12O from elemental designs instead. I'm still going to use a JBL BP600.1 amp. I ended up paying more for the amp because stupid sound domain doesn't ship JBL to Canada anymore, so I bought it off of Etronics.

Anyways on with the point. I have the JBL P180.2 running my infinity components and I'm using 4g power and ground wire.

When I hook up the 600.1 is it okay to run 1 8g wire to each amp from a distribution block? If I can do this is okay to use 8g ground instead?

I know I can for the P180.2 but I'm not too sure about the 600.1. Oh and also should I change my inline fuse to an ANL 100a instead of using the AGU fuse?

And is it necessary to upgrade the alternator to battery and battery to ground to 4g wires?

Oh I also need to know approximately how much speaker wire I need for the sub. 12g should be good though right?

I just want to confirm before I get to work. I don't want to have any electrical problems with my car.

8g is fine in short distances, and you dont need to upgrade squat

it would be better tu run 4 gauge grounds, but its not a superhuge deal, 8 will work.

What does running a 4g ground improve? Will I get noise coming out of my speakers if I don't?

you won't get any speaker noise due to the size of your ground wires. 12 gauge is fine for the subs, 14 will work too and cost a little less.

the fuse should probably be about 80A rating. you'd probably blow 60's.

how long ago did you get it? Because apparently about 1 week ago they signed a thing with harman kardon, JBL, and Phoenix Gold stating that they cannot ship their products to Canada.

It kinda pissed me off because I bought my components and amp less than a month ago with no problems.

did you buy it online?
because I tried and it didn't work.
Then I called them and they said they couldn't so I was out of luck.
