87accord Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Ok im getting ready to order the last of my power cables, and need to ask a question? My amp will only take 4 awg into it will it be better to run just the 4awg into the amp from the battery about two feet away? Or run 1/0 two it and get an adapter for it? I've always heard the less connections the better Quote new system in the works (3) DC lvl 4xls 15's (one of three are here) (2) DD z1 (done) old kenwood four ch 4 runs of 2/0 (done) ? 200 amp alt may two ??
