1600 Watts Through 4 Gauge?


Recommended Posts

I was just reading the specs on the Hifonics BXi1608D and it says it pushes 1600 watts RMS @ 1 ohm, but only has a 4 gauge power and ground terminal. Is it possible to run that much power through 4 awg?

chicken is basically the native american hulk, you think he broke that curb with his rim? think again, that was merely him stubbing his toe.

yes its possible, but you should go for larger wire, look into reducers, u can get a 0-4 gauge reducer, makes the install look nice and takes care of all the problems of only having 4 gauge input

Arn't there also ways of cutting some of the copper wire out and then soldering it so it will be stiff and will just be able to stick in a 4 gauge terminal. i cn't explane it well, but i've seen it done on here. but i think they solderd first and then took to a grinding wheel and then did jit too size or some shiz

Any idea where I could find one?

hifonic amps i believe have wire to just go in and allyn wrench them in. i could be wrong. the same inputs as a JL amp and such

? huh? ik, i've had both hifonics amps and jl amps, what i was talking about will do the same as a 1/0g to 4g reducer, but be free and take maybe 5 min to do per. but idk. thats me.

oh sorry i read it wrong, i thought you were talking about crimping 0 gauge and putting it into the amplifier 12v input.

just cut off the insulation, fill the exposed wire up with solder, and then use a grinder to reduce the wire down to the desired size. gp2k2 had a some pics somewhere showing how to do it.
