Some possible uses for 10 gauge wire:

1.  Use it to strangle the next door neighbor's cat.

2.  Use it for the remote turn on wire, just for looks.

3.  Put it in your toolbox for various purposes, like wiring subs in the box, sub wiring to the amp for that "power" look, etc.

In all, 10 gauge is just a mistake.  You can run dual wires from the battery, but that also means dual fuse holders, dual fuses, dual holes in the firewall....ultimately, it's not worth it.  I wouldn't bother running any amplifier power or ground with less than 8 gauge wire.  And you can use online sources for your wiring and distro block needs.

The amp kit said it would be good for 200RMS. I told the installer to use their amp kits if needed they said it would be fine. Anyways i will buy a 4 GUAage amp kit run to a distro block then run 2 8guage to each amp ? is this the best way? i will have 300RMS amp for sub and 200RMS for amp for the components.

Yeah, you'll have to open it up.  Most times, if a mouse gets in through the port you just hear squeaking noises.  Birds will have flapping noises.  Rabbits don't do anything.  So, a rattling noise is likely on the sub itself.  Look at the tinsel leads and see if one is bent close to the cone...so that the cone is banging against it.  If so you can bend it up a little by hand.

Generally, noise that you hear from the outside, away from the car, is the stress and rattle of the car's sheet metal.  Make sure you get a complete damping job done. (Dynamat, BrownBread, etc.)
