you need some 4g power wire in there bro. 8g can just not hold the amount of current that both of those amps will be pulling.

Best Buy WILL overcharge you for 4g wire. Around $1/ft. should be what 4g should cost. http://www.knukonceptz.com has some good wire. They have 2 different wires. The lower of the 2 wires is the KLM. It is just good wire, decent thickness, but not all copper. The Kolossus is very good wire. It is pretty darn thick and is full copper.

I just got some of the KLM cable in and ran it. Seems good so far, no real complaints.
