[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3722171, member: 569830"] It's always better to be bigger when it comes to wire, but 4g should only carry about 100A according to this page: [URL="https://weldingsupply.securesites.com/cgi-bin/einstein.pl?Next::1:UNDEF:OR:terms::PA"]https://weldingsupply.securesites.com/cgi-bin/einstein.pl?Next::1:UNDEF:OR:terms::PA[/URL] Not sure how much current that RF amp will draw, but remember, the fuse is in the wire to protect the WIRE... the amp should always be fused separately. Not sure if those RF T-series amps are fused or if you're supposed to do it externally. To calculate more things about your amp, wire gauge, speaker wire size, etc., go here: [URL="http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wire_calculator.asp"]http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wire_calculator.asp[/URL] I just used that, and it's a pretty nifty little tool they've got. When I checked your amp's output power and efficiency on that RF page, I saw that it will draw about 130+ amps, I think... so you'll need a bigger wire, I'm guessing. BTW, those battery terminals you got at Autozone... do they accept 1/0? Or are those two larger openings for 4g? How much was the pair? I might consider some of those.
