[QUOTE="req, post: 4428659, member: 555713"] running 4 guage to an amp under a foot or two away for a daily driver is perfectly fine. lets say the amplifier is only 60% efficient, battery is at 13.8, 4 guage an 5 feet long - and i know the amp is more efficent, i know the voltage should be higher, and i know the wire will be shorter, but im giving it paramters over what this kid will be using. [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/wire.htm"]BCAE1's amperage calculator listed on this page (click here) [/URL] gives a maximum rating for this wire, and that is 393A with a .5v drop. and the amplifier would be able to sustain 3251watts. so im quite sure that less than 5 feet of 4 guage will be able to sustain almost two 2000w amps, let alone one. i agree with bass knob comment. have a nice day [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] //edit to mikeyb yea. some 10 guage would not be out of the question.
