[QUOTE="95BlackGA, post: 4512840, member: 576452"] I have the Big 3 done in 4 gauge, and it seemed to do fine with my old Directed 1100D, made things a little better, but still had pretty sufficient voltage drops with a 130A alternator. I assume it was just the amp pulling more amperage than it was suppose to though. All in all, 4 gauge is alright, but if you have the patience save up, and do it with 0 gauge. You might also want to think about getting a new alternator to support the ZX2500. IIRC, these require more Amperage than your alternator can provide, even if you were running just the amp on it. Roughly 170A-200A draws. [/QUOTE]
