varietyguy Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Just run a second battery, cap, or distribution block and 4 gauge from there to the amp. Or run a reducer like Hotdog said. 1992 Mazda 323 http://www.stevemead...323-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a reducer, after soldering and twisting the wires it fit the amp perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsix Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I dont think 0ga caused your battery to die. You have another issue.

Kust3mz Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Well it's strange I have the 4 gauge installed in the truck now just finished now the headlights don't dim or anything so I'm confused, with the 0 gauge wire it would dim the headlights completely out, this is a kicker zx 400.1 amp RMS Wattage at 4 Ohm x 1 Channel: 200 I have never had a small amp like this to dim headlights? Let along kill a battery It would haft to be the big wire am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varietyguy Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 It sounds like you have a bad run of 0 gauge wire. Or had a bad connection. 1992 Mazda 323 http://www.stevemead...323-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kust3mz Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Well witch of these would be best or are they both useless 1st KOLE AUDIO 300 AMP 16 VOLTS DC CAPCELL BATTERY CAPACITOR W/ DIGITAL VOLT METER 2: Shuriken SK-BT20 20 Amp Hour 12V Car Audio AGM Power Cell Battery Or what would you recommend for a little more power other then a HO alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varietyguy Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Honestly I would suggest figuring out what is wrong with your electrical. You shouldn't be dimming on 400 watts, your battery shouldn't randaomly go dead either. What brand of 0 gauge do you have. If you are having no problems with the 4 gauge and you're wanting to add some capacitance I would go with the Shuriken. 1992 Mazda 323 http://www.stevemead...323-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
