with a knife.
Still not understanding why your running a 4 guage and 8 guage cable? if its for two amps then just run the 4 gauge or a 2 guage or even a 0 guage if you can be arsed then use a distribution block to supply the power to each amp

i would presume just a 12v input? well thats what my pheonix gold line driver takes.
Running two cables will just be a hassle when one larger one will do.
The standard saxo battery will struggle and you will most likely just get clipping at higher levels. Better to uprate the battery and the big 3 cables under the bonnet. alternator to battery, battery to chassis and engine earth.
4 guage or larger will be ideal
