Is my current wiring ok for 1700w?


Recommended Posts

So my Battery is in the back of my Cobalt, and the power wire runs maybe 6 feet (more like 3 if I end up moving the amp to the rear of the box). I have a Hifonics Brutus 1700.1d (running at 1ohm-1700w) and 2 SA-12's. Will the current 4AWG Rockford Fosgate wiring I have be enough? Also, what do you guys recommend for fuse size? (The site recommends 160a, would 150a be ok?) Please no flat "Just go 0 AWG bro" I believe the amplifier only has input for 2ga. If I need to upgrade, what would I fuse the 2ga for and WHAT brand of 2gauge? (since I was having a hard time finding decent 2AWG on Amazon).

Thanks for the help :) links are always helpful

150a is perfectly fine.

Don't bother with 2 gauge, go straight for 0 gauge wiring.

do the big 3. and if im right 4ga is ok but not the best and if you can't run 0 to the amp you can buy converters , but thats my opinion

big 3 is a real pain in the ass when the battery is in the trunk haha, that will get done when I get back from school winter break. And what converters are you talking about?
