What size power and ground wires do you recommend for the 1800d? Is 4 gauge too small?

Wats the fusing of the amp? Id say 4ga is indeed to small.

Yea, i had a shop look at my setup and they told me the amp was faulty, so I had it checked out and turned out to be ok. I checked the wires they hooked it up with and they are four gauge and the amp is grounded to the cap. So Im guessing, I should just up grade the wire?

You should remove/sell the cap and use that money to buy bigger wire.
And I would not ground an amp to a cap, but that's just me.

Yeah ground the amp to the chasis not to the cap. Caps are useless anyway.

Yea I was pissed when I seen that was where they grounded it to. I guess I could just get rid of the cap altogether. Its best to ground both amps to the same spot right? Sorry for the simple questions.

What exactly do you mean by over built the electrical?
