[QUOTE="youdoofus, post: 8568037, member: 664079"] if youre gonna be running anything over 800 or so watts, dont do what i did and think that 4 gauge will suffice, because it really wont. 8 gauge will support up to around 300 watts (give or take), but its always best to give more electrical capability than less. Another thing to consider is how much amperage your alternator is outputting. Amps like the CAB 1600 or my SQ 2200.1 pull around 200 amperes and stock alternators (unless you drive an ambulance) probably wont put that much out. May want to consider another battery in the trunk by the amp, but for sure 1/0 gauge for something thatll power it properly. Not cheap, but welding wire is often recommended to get the juice needed for less $$ [/QUOTE]
