[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8344855, member: 540940"] As usual, we're suggesting total overkill here. I guess the assumption is you're going to want to upgrade both amps tremendously at some point in the near future. That's the only reason you'd want/need to upgrade to 1/0. These amps are 400-500w rms each at best. 4 awg would be the natural upgrade, along with a ~100A anl fuse. The 8 awg's from the d-block to each amp will still be fine -- with ~50's at the d-block. Caps aren't doing much, but no need to remove them if they're already there. If this is in the Lincoln in your avatar you probably have the 130A alternator which should have no problem with ~1000w rms. FWIW - the fuses in the d-block protect the smaller wire. They won't do much of anything to protect the amps if there's a problem. [/QUOTE]
