Convert multiple 14 gauge to 4 gauge?

[brendanthekid]

Hello, i have computer power supplies with 14 gauge power wires and im getting a SoundQubed 750.1 soon for my sub and i was wondering how i would change like 8-10 14 gauge power wires into a single 4 gauge for the amp?

please no, just get some 4 ga

you can get some down sizing terminals too for what ever reason you need to change it.

not sure i clearly understand what your trying to do here

please no, just get some 4 ga

im sorry, i was wondering how i can hook up multiple 14 gauges to a 4 gauge wire.

to be more clear, i have a computer power supply. it has 14 gauge power outputs. i need to connect those to a 4 gauge power wire. im thinking knukonceptz kollosus fleks 4 gauge.

A computer power supply won't run an amp like that. Sure it may be 25amps at 12v, but your amp wants 14.4. When you go down to 12v it will pull more current to make the same output.

If you want to run your amp in the house, get a battery, put it on a decent 15 amp charger, monitor your voltage and play for a limited amount of time. If your voltage gets below 12 or so, shut it off and let the battery recharg.

is there any way to upconvert 12v to 14.4?

look up a guide on how to run three pc power supplies in series using the 5v rails. Guys running Ham radios do this, i'm sure others have. You can get more amperage and run at 15v which is fine. But you will have to do some serious work inside the power supply cause those 16ga wires arent going to like 50amps at 15v.

if you are asking about tying a bunch of 14ga wires into a 4ga, you probably wont be gutting and rewiring some power supplies. No offence.
