Big Three questions

Hi agaiin guys I have a quick question about the big 3. I just got off the phone with my local install shop trying to buy 0ga wire. He says they dot carry it and then asked y I was looking to buy it and I explained. He goes on to say that it really isnt needed and good qality 4ga will do just fine. So should I use the 4ga or buy 0 off the internet?

Buy 0 gauge of the Internet along the the terminals it's so much cheaper than going to a shop and get the big 3 done.

A shop quoted me 330 dollars for a big 3 installation with wires I was like "wtf".

If Audio Technix still have the blow out sale.

Go order some 0 gauge from them.

Or you can also go with Sky High, Bullz, Or Knu.

You won't go bad with any of that choice.

They all make good solid wires.

Go order the 0 gauge online //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

lol@shop owneres. They give this same speech to everyone. Why would you ever tell someone to use smaller wire?

The only reason his point is even valid, is the amp may truly only need 4gauge, but you have to understand these shop guys only ever live and work in the shop and on their shop merchandise. They don't know about all of the underground equipment with higher electrical requirements. They just put their kenwood, pioneer, alpine goods in vehicle after vehicle and there is no other audio equipment that exists.

I kind of agree with you but I would put BULLZ right next to Knu, Sky High and AT.
