Wire Guage.

Alright, well I have lots of 4g high end welding wire.
I used it from my main power back to my distrubition block.
Would it be alright to use the same 4g running to my amps... or would it result in LOSS of power.

If you have 4 gauge everywhere else, it'll be fine to use it out of the distro's... From what I've seen, people actually often run 1/0 from power to distrobution blocks, and then 4 gauge from them to the amplifier (if the terminals won't accept 1/0 or something)... It's usually a pretty short distance too, so it certainly sounds fine to me since you don't have bigger wire anywhere else anyway.
