[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8675013, member: 676005"] Mate, you can go ahead but you are setting yourself and your car at risk including the passengers. Use correct gauge wires and distribution blocks , none of that backyard butcher jobs :crying: that is done when they don't have access to correct gear. Don't do it mate!!! Better running a small amp with your current power wire kit then installing a huge amp with small power as it will draw more current and could melt the wires not to mention, could cause fire to your vehicle. If you don't have to dough, then save up but do it correctly as mistakes like this will not be covered by our car insurance agency as well :uhoh: Insurance companies are always looking at this possible causes so they can reject your claim in an event of an accident. :furious: If you are not sure, then ask your car audio shops to provide guidance to do it, or if you are not competent then ask them to do it for you as their work is guaranteed under the industry legislation.
