3 awg enough?

[ultimate157 5,000+ posts]

I'm looking at picking up some KnuKonceptz wire, and I'm wondering if 3 awg is good enough for my amp (Lanzar Opti 2000D)

specs are as follows:

770 watts @ 4ohms

1100 watts @ 2ohms

1600 watts @ 1.3 ohms

2000 watts @ 0.5 ohms

I'll only be running it at 4 ohms for now, but later on if I choose to go higher to around 1200 watts is 3ga fine? Amp only accepts 4ga.

your better off to get 0awg... just this way if you plan on upgrading you have the wiring all done.... and plus your amp will always get the power she wants with the bigger wiring

Didn't know they made 3 awg, but i think you'll be fine.

its knukonceptz's 4awg eKo cable ... but due to strand count + size, it factors out to be 3awg. Great wire...

Kicker 1/0 dual amp kit. Get something else for $15 and you get free shipping. Doesnt say it comes with a fused distrobution block, just distrobution blocks.

Run 0 gauge and run an adapter/reducer for it to fit, just trim it if your cheap or even a distribution block.
