Tim Lam Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 lol @ title. but anyways, i have just ordered a Crescendo 2k (please god say its 100% mechanically sound) but i am only going to be running it to 2ohms for the time being. the amp itself has 0awg inputs, but since im running it at 2ohms, would i be able to get away with using 4awg? (its 1100rms at 2 ohms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Should be fine. Although I think it goes without saying that 0 gauge would be ideal Edit: How long is your run of 4 gauge? That would be the biggest determining factor.

bass_stalker Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 you could do it with a really short run of 4 gauge. like less than 2 feet long. but if you can spend the money on a bc2k you should be able to afford a good 0 gauge kit Quote JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

That's not too good. I'd invest in some wire and fuses if I where you man. And another battery.
