[QUOTE="chardy85, post: 6822234, member: 566390"] Unless he is running that amp @ 4ohms I bet it is drawing a decent amount more than 100Amps. I would be careful running 4ga with it. I know Kole amps are overrated but I just read online that it uses the same board as the Soundstream PCA2000D which does 2000Wrms @ 1ohm. I would assume with 2000rms you would be drawing at least 150-200A. I doubt the amp is very efficient. Don't melt that 4ga I had a friend that bought some BOSS audio **** and volfenhag subs. He had a "3000Watt" amp running these woofers with 4ga wire ran from the battery. He didn't have a fuse so he just put a piece of metal or wire in the fuse holder and it melted the **** out of it. He then came and asked me for a fuse. All I had was an 80A and he went ahead and ran it with that.....LULZ Just tell your friend to be careful. Since he already owns the amp he might as well see what he can do with it. Maybe it lowered the RPM's because the small wire is putting more of a load on the Alternator when it is getting Hot. When the fuse blows.....do the RPM's go right back up? [/QUOTE]
