[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7463630, member: 549629"] Your amp is rated up to 1500 watts. 160 amps is anywhere from 2000 to 2300 watts, depending on your voltage. Lesson? Fuse ratings can (pretty much) guarantee your max current draw on an amplifier (it wont surpass that current pull), but its not a guarantee it will pull that amount of power continuously. 4ga would probably be fine, 2ga would definitely be fine, 0ga is absolutely overkill and not necessary.
