im planning on buying a t1k (elite) and running it at 4 ohms for 500rms until i upgrade to something more to take the full 1000rms.
but i was wondering if i could get away with my 4 gauge wiring for the t1k @ 4 ohms until i upgrade subs, wire, fusing, etc.

thanks.

My system:
CDA-9887
RF P450.4
RF T1k
RF Punch 6.5" Components
RF FNP 5.25" Components
MB Quart 3.5" Coax's
AA Assassin 8"
.4 cf sealed downfire

theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer

walmart 4g is schoshe which is actually decent stuff. there is much worse out there. and at 1 ohm that wire isnt going to be happy but it would work

it all really depends on whats really going on. the worst 4g ive seen is DHD and american accessories.... i have a pile of ~25 1ft lengths of whatever 4g i can get my hands on. funny thing is the heaviest one is my stock cobalt battery wire. and i think the one that has what "looks" like the most strands is raptor which is the lightest. cca for sure
