4 gauge wire!?!?! you need to get your self some zero... and that new battery

I got the new battery, and every1 has said 4 guage is fine, do you really think it will make that big of a difference?

[treossi]

yeah i'd switch it out.. since that amp accepts 0 gauge right ? couldn't hurt

[Guest DC Power Kyle]

0 gauge will make a difference in voltage drop from the front of the car to the back... less resistance

[VistaV6]

It takes 4 guage. But I am sure 0 would fit. Guess I will tighten up that ground and see if that fixes it. If not, looks like new wire.

Check the voltage along the wire with a load on it... the load of nothing but your multimeter won't be enough to show any voltage drop.

You've got a loose connection. If the area where the wire connects to the amp is hot too, then it's at the amp. But from what you've said, it sounds like a loose connection at the battery.

is the wire hot or the terminal?

normaly if the wire jacket gets hot its pullin to much current n cant keep up wit the demand with that amp

4guage will work but 0guag-1/0 is what u need with true 1k rms n up, i wouldn't of even tryed it without 0guage cause with that high of resistance n causein the wires to get that hot wonder what its doin to the amp?

ied fix that ground but get a decent 0guage kit n use it

if u want for the cheap n get decent wire get this kit, i got the 4guage when i had my honda n it worked great wit a 500rms amp

and put meade in for cupon code for i think a 20% discount too

anyways sound quest is made my stinger so its a replicable company

hope this helps

oh ya, check your door step plates n see if a screw might have went into the wire unless u ran it somewere else, i was in a hurry one day n threw in a 8guage kit to play wit in my bro n laws blazer n a screw from the step plate went into the wire n caused it to short out n blow every fuse we put in n make it get hot

but ya check all your connections at ever point n make sure theres no loose strands comein out of the wire touchin somewere else on the amp or other input post, n check that the wire is tight at battery n that the post is decently tight but do not over tighten the battery post cause it will break off n u'll be up shit creek

can u take pics of how this is setup so we kinda get an idea on what ur workin wit here?

Make sure your positive does not touch the negitive because that happened to me once and i nearly got fried lol with my old battery so i went and bought a brand new energizer battery that goes from 700 cold crank to 850 regular.

hope this helps
