[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8661733, member: 676005"] With car audio where there is DC power instead of AC compared to the house, the current tends to loose over distances from the car battery to the back of the trunk area. Simple way to know your power requirements is to add up your amplifiers fuse rating and add 10% ( due to loss) and then go shopping for the appropriate wiring kit. In most every day driving 4 gauge or 2 gauge is sufficient unless you plan to enter the SPL lanes then back to the drawing board for you! :cool: [ATTACH]2382._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
