I'm planning a fairly simple two-amp setup, nothing over the top just something better than my stock.
I currently have:
- Kicker Key 200.4 (50w RMS x 4)... comes with manual that recommends 14awg wire and has a harness with two 14awg wires on it soldered together for power
- Blaupunkt active GTHS131 subwoofer for under the seat (120w RMS, peak 200w)
- amp wiring kit 4awg and another 8awg
- stinger 1 4awg in, 2 8awg out distribution block
- power wire runs are <=8ft from battery/distribution block
Plan was to have the 4awg from the battery to the Stinger block then split to 2 8awg to the amps
Problem, harness on the kicker has two 14awg power wires soldered together.
Question, can I solder/butt connect the one 8awg to the dual-14awg into the Kicker with not too many worries?
