Can I run these on this wire?

[Thixx 10+ year member]

Ok I have a OEM alternator that puts out 130amps, OEM battery and Knu KLMX (CCA) 4gauge wire for power/ground and the big 3. Will this be enough to run 2 AQ SDC2.5's on a 1200d? 1200 watts at 1 ohm.

My gut is telling me no, but I'm hoping someone educated will tell me yes lol. I don't think my budget will allow for all new wire.

should be fine. that amp accepts 4 awg so you should be fine....i would run more than just that one amp off that one run of 4 awg tho.

it should be ok but for how cheap knu 1/0 is I would upgrade just to be safe. He'll you can get 2 runs for around sixty bucks.

i would be interested in buying the 4 awg from you if you do want to upgrade.

Thank you guys that's what I wanted to hear =D I will give the 4 gauge a try and if I experience a lot of voltage drop then I will probably sell it. I'll be ordering the stuff this friday so it will be a week or 2 depending on shipping.

My friend is running an AQ 2200d @ 2 ohms, and an alpine MRP-F600 off of 4 gauge wiring. He's been doing it for 6 months now, no problems at all.
