is hooking two 8ga power wires to an amplifier the same as hooking up one 4ga wire?
my 4ga wire was split to 2 8ga wires for 2 amps that i no longer have. i'm getting one amp now and to be able to mount it in the same place i would either need to buy more 4ga wire and connect it where the splitter is, or just run the 2ga wires from the splitter and attach them both to the power of the amp. will that work or will just one of the 8a actually be drawing the power?
two 8's are actually a little smaller than one 4 awg.
A pair of 8's is good for about 100A (at 15'), a 4 is good for 120-130.

Boat Wiring - Wiring To Withstand
If you own a boat, it is really important for you to have enough knowledge about the boat wiring and its installation. This has several benefits when your need is the establishment of independence while sailing. This is immensely important matter of consideration to keep your boat well in matters of sustainability. For these boats to function properly, the inclusion of the wirings is a necessity. All the materials used for the purpose of wiring should be proper along with the application of effective techniques. Certain factors may contribute to the inappropriate wiring connections in a boat.
Most common among them are jolts, corrosions and trembling. Almost every boat is equipped with an electric system having a power flow in the range of 12 to 24. Negative and positive insulated wires together are joined on electric system. As a part of safety measures both the negative and positive has a double poled circuit. This up to an extent ensures the protection. The system which is stranded and insulated has wire cabling, two in numbers. The problem regarding solid cabling is that they are more likely to be torn quickly due to vibrations. Very fine standard wires also may not be considered as a genuine choice because they melt easily when corrosion occurs.
The cabling should use an insulated material capable of resisting the moisture and preventing the flame. If the cabling is meant for using at the bilge or engine areas it should be more efficient in resisting oil. In case of any damage, split or strain, the insulation should be replaced by a new one because since the environment is tough, the insulation may wear away easily. There should be regular inspection. Try to keep electric cable in such a position from the bilge so that there is no water contact.
Special care should be provided to avoid it's placement in areas where there is slow discharge emissions. All the electric devices or water connections should be kept away from water. Be ensured that the cable is put on without any sharp ends or curls because else it may cause wire deficiency due to the burn-out of metal. Either the boats or else even the commercial modern vessels, all of them have enormous number of electrical and electronic system installed. So it is very relevant that systematic and careful approach should be there in design and installation of the boat wiring.
