[QUOTE="pioneerisloud, post: 4903658, member: 599311"] Again though, I'm confused. 8 gauge wire was plenty (with a 25a fuse mind you) when running at 4 ohms. I'm pretty sure this isn't really a wire problem, more or less a battery problem. Am I wrong? If I go up to a 4 gauge kit, my battery still won't be able to keep up with the current draw. If anything it'll be worse because the amplifier won't be AS STARVED for power as it is now....so it'll be drawing even more. I think that'll solve the fuse popping, but that's not my main issue. Its the fact that my lights are dimming to the point where they almost shut off, and my amplifier keeps kicking itself into safe mode, even though I KNOW that I should be within what its rated for.
