Jared420 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Posted July 29, 2009 You said you installed your setup yourself right? You can do it, not any more difficult than that. The hardest part for me is getting the wire routed just where I want it. A little case of OCD kicks in. haha. There is a thread stickied here in the forum on how to do it. So I guess I understand the concept of the thicker wire but i dont understand how the same amount of power cant go through 4 gauge. Also what should you use for a size of the subwoofer wires. I have some pretty small wires going from the subs to the amp. 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts

Loudcav Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 12 g is sufficient 10guage is better . in my silverado Ive got a Napa Orbital in the main location then the XS Power in the Duramax tray 1/0g wire between the 2 .1 run of + one of negative. then 1 run of each back to distro blocks and that is 1/0g as well which powers 2 channels off of an SAX-100.4 at 4 ohms each and an orion 2500D at 2 ohms no big 3 so Im still with the small factory wireing for the ground and all under the hood and I barely get a drop and thats going by the same guage you are. the orion is rated at I believe 1700 watts at the load Im running at with impenence rise and this is just a guess Im probably seeing 1000 watts Id assume
