Torres Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 better to go bigger than smaller. in that application 4 gauge is fine. but i will always always use the biggest wire i can. overkill or not. then if i wanna upgrade, i already have the biggest wire i need Quote

dmanson Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 that amp is only around 800 or 900 rms, why go throught the hassle of putting 1/0 gauge on it when it only requires 4ga ........... now if you have more than one than yeh use 0 gauge but run ito to a dist block and run 4ga from that to the amp(s).

cichlidfort Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) "why would u put 0gauge on that its overkill" No, it is not an overkill. There is considerably less resistence by using 0 gauge wiring since you are giving the electricity that is flowing through the wiring more space. 4 gauge wire has more resistence because you are trying to pull the same amount of amperage but just in a smaller space. It is actually better for the amplifier to do it this way. I am doing the same thing with my crunch Pzi 3000 . The amp has 4 gauge fittings but I am using reducers. However, I did have to shave down the reducers to get them to fit in. Edited December 27, 2007 by cichlidfort Quote 2008 Chevy Impala (undercover cop style) Setup in the makings

dr.db Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 why use 1/0? the amp obvisouly isnt designed for it, so do it right and buy a distrobution block and call it done. X2 Quote
