Torres Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 imo i think 4 ga would be ok, tho 4 ga is the MINIMUM i'd go on any kind of system. especially if you're gonna need reducers anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM9104 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Go with 1/0ga. That way when you get a bigger amp, you won't need to re-run wires.

If he is going with 4 gauge, why would he need reducers? I just would avoid 4 gauge...so what if it is a bit more hassle? There is just going to be a lot more resistence with 4 gauge compared to 0 gauge. If you're going to pay for better 4 gauge wiring anways, why not just spend the extra 20-30 bucks on knukonceptz for 0 gauge...lol.

Torres Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 using 4 ga would eliminate the need for him to use reducers, guess the way i typed that reads funny but upgrading would be a pain since you'd need to rerun bigger wire anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running 0/1 is better for the electrical anyways. Quote 2008 Chevy Impala (undercover cop style) Setup in the makings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
