MACnonsence6 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 as the title states what is the highest rms amp you can run safely using 4 awg power wire. I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha.
dereileak Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 depends on what brand of 4 gauge wire, if its good stuff, it can take between 100-125 amps of power, multiply that by 14.4 and that would be 1800 watts, but in reality that would be pushing that wire, I wouldn't run much more then 1200 watts though it continuously, otherwise I would jump to 0 gauge wire 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments)

BassJunkie Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 Unless the amp has 0 gauge inputs or is 5k watts+ 4 gauge is more than adequate. 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

sam_mc50 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 if it is high quality wire and no more than 15 feet you can get away with 150 amps but I wouldn't go beyond that. really 1200 watts is the most I personally would go
dugee81 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 You wanna talk LITERALLY the "biggest" amp you could use with 4 gauge? Go and check out the 5500 watt line of power acoustik amps! 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm
CaptainzPlanetz Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 Depends.....if you have a battery bank with a 6" run of 4 gauge to the amp, you could probably run a 3krms amp off it and be fine(not saying to do this LOL) but if your running from the front battery back you would want a larger gauge. ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............
