harrisonG Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 this is probably a noob-ish question, but if i plan to upgrade amps (ive never installed an amp) can i just take out the wires from my old amp and place them into the new one or is there a more in depth installation? sorry if this is a stupid question Harrison 2000 Nissan Xterra -Infinity 6020cs components -Infinity 692.7 6x9s -DC LVL 4 12 -AQ1200 -Pioneer DEHP860MP H/U -4 channel amp for mids and highs???

CaptainzPlanetz Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 What size wiring do you have? If it is 4 guage or larger you will just fine swapping the amps out. ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

harrisonG Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Posted September 23, 2009 i believe its 4 gauge, but are you saying say if the amp is 8 gauges ill need to rewire? i was thinking about going bigger for wiring anyway, more or less i was just curious if there would be any complications with switching amps 2000 Nissan Xterra -Infinity 6020cs components -Infinity 692.7 6x9s -DC LVL 4 12 -AQ1200 -Pioneer DEHP860MP H/U -4 channel amp for mids and highs???

Everything else should transfer right over. Also note that is 8 guage power and ground wire I am talking about. ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............
