CaptainzPlanetz Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'll be running 2400 watts.... What guage of wiring would be safest. Generally anything above 1500 watts, and 0/1 is the way to go. So I would go with 0/1. Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............ All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

Edit: You could probably get away with 2 gauge, but from what I seen it is sort of an off size and tends to cost as much as the 0 gauge, do you have any particular brands in mind?

k3atdawg Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 most defintely 1/0 how can that be done when the amp says the power/ground wire sizes are 4 awg? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_18609_...lon+X1200M.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 how can that be done when the amp says the power/ground wire sizes are 4 awg?http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_18609_...lon+X1200M.html because its not making anywhere close to 2400w Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

mbaty1 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 well, to begin with, that was a 1200 watts amplifier, 2400 watts is it's "MAX" rating which is nearly never reached unless you severly clip the signal to that thing... you should utilize the "RMS" wattage ratings when asking questions like these, which in this case turns out to mean you could get away with using 4 gauge wire; however, probably best to run 1/0 from your battery to your amp, then run into through a fused distributin block and use a 4 gauge from the distro block to the amp. Hope that helps some... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
