1/0 wont fit the bxi1606D

[Jared530 10+ year member]

I bought this brutus thinking that the power wires were 0 guage. I bought some of knu's kolossus 1/0 cable and i dont really feel like ordering 4gauge. Do you think it would be ok to trim the tip of the copper so that it is the right size to fit the 4 guage, or should i juss use this 1/0 cable to upgrade my big 3? Also i was wondering if i did trim the wire to fit the hole, would it be like running 4 gauge or would it be like running the 1/0 cable?

Go to sounddomain.com and then go into the accessories. Lightning audio has some 4 gauge - 1/0 gauge adapters for amps. Pick up 2 of them, one for the power wire and one for your ground ;-)

trim it, it will be like 1\0, but i don't see a big diffence in 4 vs 0 in your case

Get a distrobution block and do it right. If you ever go bigger with the amplifier later, you'll wish you had one, and end up ordering it anyway.

yea that sounds good. cause i am planning to upgrade upgrade to a treo ssx 3.1

Buttt, like smd said, would their be that big of a difference? Becuase i want to do the big 3 and this cable is probably one of the best to do it with. Should i just but some 4g from knu or would the 1/0 make it hit harder?

pay attention to these 4 replies, and do either of the above listed options //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif . trimming the wire will work fine, but why not go ahead and do it the right way.

and not to sound like a smart *** or anything, but its usually worth it to double check your specs and everything before ordering stuff.

If the SSX3.1 is anything like the 1500.1 it wont fit 1/0 guage anyways

 

[Jared530 10+ year member]

Ok, ill just go ahead and trim down the wires to fit the 4gauge. Would the 1/0 make the system hit harder rather than the 4gauge, or would their be a difference? If not i will probably order a 4 kit and use the 1/0 for big3

the maxsonics website claimed the bxi1606d uses 2ga oversized terminals for their power/ground. i bought 22' of streetwires 2ga power wire and they didnt fit in the slot. it was truly meant for 4ga. i ended up using a distro block
