RickyFriery97 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Ok, I've been out of the game for a while. But finally have a system on the way. Truck is a 2012 GMC Sierra Amps- (2) AQ750.1s Subs-(2) SA-8" V2s D2 Will most likely strap @ 2 ohm My question is on power Should I run 1 run of 1/0 and then split in the cab to two 4 gauge runs, or two seperate 4 gauge runs? 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Lam Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 actually many people have more luck when they DON'T strap their amps, so they claim. but if i were you i'd run 0awg and split it. therefore if you decide to upgrade, just get a 0awg coupler(look for stinger 0 gauge coupler) and add on more 0awg! but accessories can add up so if your on a budget, it would be cheaper to do 2 runs of 4awg.

RickyFriery97 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Ok I'll be doing 1 run of knu OFC 1/0 to a distro block or battery. Should I fuse the 1/0 at the wires rating, or the amps? The amps have on board fuses 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
