Mars Blackmon Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I plan on putting a 1400 watt system in my truck. I wanna know is 4 awg good enough or should i run 1/0 from the battery to a distribution Block and run 4 awg from there. Im gonna do the big 3 and use a yellow top. My car is a 1996 jeep cherokee. Will my car be able to handle 1400 watts with stock alt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinky Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 if your talkin rms, then you will have a little headlight dimming but yeah it will work fine. and i would go ahead and run the 1/0.
