[QUOTE="GLN305, post: 7603533, member: 579623"] I think this post possibly summed up your problem if I am understanding what you have for wiring in your car. Upgrading the Big 3 in 2/0 is a good idea. What I noticed is that you said you have 4 gauge running through your car? This would lead me to believe you are running a distribution block to a pair of amps since you said ''amps". A single 4 gauge wire for a 1000 watt amp and a 4-channel is too small, you will need 2 gauge or larger, or run a separate 4 gauge run for the 4-channel. Also make sure your amp grounds are appropriately sized as well, must have 4 gauge power and 4 gauge ground minimum for a 1000 watt amp. Another thing to consider is the ground location for your amps, make sure it is sanded clean and screwed or bolted down well, very well. [/QUOTE]
