Recommended Posts

Posted

i have knu 0 gauge ran back to my extra battery in the back and my boston amps are supposed to take 4 gauge wire(2 pwr/2gnd per amp) but any name brand 4 gauge is too big and i have to cut a decent amount off it to force it in to fit.. so my question is would i be better to run a good name brand 8 gauge power and grounds from my back up battery straight to the amps instead off cutting down the 4 gauge so much.. what is the benefit/downside to doing this either way.. please help im a noob lol as you can see.. thanks.. also have big 3 down in knu 0 gauge also..

i would say just use the 4 gauge and cut it down to fit it in. i had the same problem with my boston amps.

ive seen an adapter that is machined brass that will take a 0 AWG wire on one end and the other end is a 4AWG pin that you insert in to your amp .. I thing PG or stinger make on I would also check Street Wires if they are still around If not stripp the end of the wire and TIN the whole thind and then use a grinder head on a dremel tool and trim to size

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, debt is the money of slaves. Just my .02c

that shop needs keep those doors open so they have to charge for it

if people think 10k is a lot then they should get into other hobbies.. like masturbating, cause any hobby cost money to maintain

Lol no, I'm smarter than that bro haha. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..............go fuck yourself lol

spl dust is an option you can get on the coils... it's great for extra 1000 watts of power
