2awg?

[awalbert88 10+ year member]

I picked up some 2AWG wire that was leftover from the job site I'm working at, and am planning to run it to a distro block with 4AWG running out to the Avionixx 800.2 and 8AWG running out to the Eclipse 33250. The 33250 pulls about 50A, and my understanding is that the 800.2 pulls about 100A. Will the 2AWG be thick enough to handle that kind of current? I had planned to go with 0/1, but this was cheaper (read: free).

Also, does anyone know of a distro/fuse block that can do a single 4 and single 8 output? I'd rather not have to run any reducers.

the 800.2 will never pull 100A on a consistent basis...so the 2awg is fine for those amps.

for distro blocks hit up teampsidavid on AIM...

i have teh same setup for wires, n trust me, finding distro w one 4aw out n one 8awg out was a pain in the ***.

anyways, i'll save u the pain. at the time, sounddomain was the only place i found these kinda distros. look for phoenix gold distros. they have them for like $20 a piece. which wasn't bad.

however, now knukonceptz.com came up with these distros too. so either way you should be fine.

Awesome. That Phoenix Gold distro block is exactly what I was looking for.

The 800.2 will run stable bridged at 3ohm, right? And it would give me roughly 1200W at that load as well? If not, I may have to go for the more expensive Tsunami 1800.

ehh id check with ben to see if the 800.2 would run bridged at 3ohms...itd probably blow.
