Re: subs in an estate
its not a case of being a lot in it. you running 2 subs on 1 amp and 6x9s on the other amp.
not ideal using same power cable.
the subs will use alot of the power meaning the other amp for the 6x9s will probably not get enough flowing to it at high volumes
thats why its better to run 2 power cables so enough juice can flow to the amps.
what are the real watts of the amps ? the 3000watt amp . what RMS power is that ?

Re: subs in an estate
which amps do you have ?
mate. ask any good car audio store. its a fact its better to run 2 cables rather than 1 split
and if your really running 1100rms you definately need more than 1x 4 gauge split to 2x 8s ...

Re: subs in an estate
distribution blocks are ok for 2 not so powerfull amps .
but seeing your pics jam mate i would run 2 cables if i was you, the subwoofer amp will drain all the power so the music amp will suffer..
especially running 2 subs. i run 2 subs with a 4 channel amp (300rms x2 bridged) so 600rms to both subs.
and they 100% need their own 4 gauge cable.
what fuses do your amps have ? and what fuse is in your main 4 gauge cable fuse holder ?

Re: subs in an estate
so i wired up the amp today im only useing the 3000w amp i got 2 subs and 2 6x9s running off it and sounds real good very loud my only problem is the amp stops working when i turn it up to loud. when it cut out i thort the fuses blew but nope there both ok the only other thing im thinking is the ground isnt done very well im using the back seat mount when u fold down the back of the rear seat there is a small black bracket with 2 bolts ive taken off most of the paint for good connection i might have a loot and see if ive missed some paint thats stopping connection

Re: subs in an estate
i agree with jamjar mate 
defo a bad earth. i earth mine under the rear seat bolts. fold seats down and undo 1 bracket.
sand it to bare metal and bolt it under there. these bolts are solid tight
just dont screw the amp to the back of the seat tho cos the metal screws will touch the metal seat that the eart cable is bolted to
interference issues then
