im running a 1,300 watt soundstream amp with just my big 3 done, i have a 105 amp alt, and im using 4 gauge wire an i experience very very low voltage drop, im at 13.9 volts on fult tilt bumping. an i have a pos battery also. so if you do what i suggested you should be completely fine.

I'm going to grab this and use it for the amp since I already have the rca's and remote wire.

Then get the big three done as soon as I can afford to for now I'm just going to run that 0 guage to the amp and get the big 3 done about 2 weeks after that.

thats a good choice. even better that you went with 0g wire, just make sure that you select a big enough fuse for that amp.

a 150 should be ok. i have a 200 on mine. so either 150 or the 200 would be fine.

Alright might as well go with the 200 I guess. How much will it cost to have the big 3 done with 0 guage at a shop? I don't feel like messing with that stuff on my own... Lol
