Default question on power soruce

I just wanted to get some opinions on what im about to do.
I just bought (2) 6" monitors and a video amplifier now im looking for the best way to power up the video amp as well as the headrest montors(I'll be connecting the power for the 2 monitors into the video amp since theres a output for power). I didnt want to run another power wire from the battery to the video amp cause its a pain to get the wire through the firewall. So would It be safe running a 12 or 14 gauge power wire from the distribution block(which is being used to power my 2 phoenix gold amps) to the video amp?

the power draw on video amps is low so I think it would be safe...


what pg amps do you have?

I was thinking since the 12 & 14 gauge power wire is so thin I would put it in the input of the ditrib. block with the 4 gauge power wire or should I run the wire from one of the outputs on the distrib. block?

it wont draw anymore than 10-20 amps at the most. What is running to your distribution block? 2 or 0 gauge?


Those are nice amps. I have 2 xenons the 1200.1 and 200.4...
