[QUOTE="rumple4skin, post: 4282729, member: 587703"] I'm sure he was saying its 12 gauge from bat to bat. and from the sounds of it hes got 14 gauge running from the trunk to the hu for some reason, don't know why. and I'm sure he also has 12 gauge going to the amps. for one, change all that wiring down to 1/0 gauge(from bat to bat) then replace your sub amp with 4 gauge(from bat in trunk) and your tweet amp id say you can use 8 gauge. from that i bet you watch the voltage rise at the bat in the trunk(to closer to 12v), my main prob is all of this is with the car off. this means when your driving id bet money your dropping below 11v, which is bad for everything. after you fix your run of wires, id upgrade your big three with the left over 1/0 gauge from running your bat wire. then id have to ask you about your two bat.'s, sounds to me like you do not have the right kind of 2nd bat(or first). if i where you id replace both of those bats with a nice deep cycle bat [/QUOTE]
