IKnowImLost224 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Was looking into buying one of these off of someone for $200 locally but now that im reading about it, it says that 0 gauge is recommended, problem is I only have 4 gauge and dont plan on having this car forever so I really dont wanna do 0 gauge if I dont have to. Can you still run this amp on 4 gauge? I'm getting like 12.5 volts with a Kinetik HC1200 hooked up in the back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get help you dont even have to ask. you always use the biggest wire that can fit in an amp. always. theres a reason why amps have specific gauge inputs.
