FieroGrande Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Leave that guage in there are dont worry about the 4 guage dont waste your money on that. U dont need it. Just be sure that u have the proper fuse in the holder and ur going to be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godsmack Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 100 should be fine. and the 4 awg is a waste. as already been said bigger is better. would u try and pull 10,000 gallons of water through 2" PVC or 6" PVC? Same theory applies here. Quote "No poor dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He did it by making the other poor dumb bastard for his country."

stereomayhem Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Shouldn't just leave some extra lenght of wire so you can fix it right when you get the right parts. You need a reducer. Quote www.stereomayhem.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
