Default PG Xenon amp req BOTH positive and negative to hook to car battery..any exp?

I was looking at the manual for the PG Xenon 600.1 and it instructs to wire the amp to both the + and - battery terminals. All the other amps I've installed only connect to the positive terminal, and ground the negative. My concern is that PG suggest using 4 AWG cable, but I think it will be a tight fit (if not impossible) running two cables of this size under the door sills.

Anyone have experience in this?
