[QUOTE="Sierra Nate, post: 8709770, member: 673019"] What is the RMS watts of your two new amps? How far is it from your battery? How many channels on each amp? Plug those numbers in here [URL]https://rockfordfosgate.com/support/amp-wire-calculator/[/URL] and that will tell you how large of a wire you need. If you use wire too small for those new amps they will continuously cut off and back on as they heat and then cool. Biggest problem people have with amps is power wire undersized. Next is speaker wire but not nearly as big of a problem. Most OEM wires, especially for cars that have factory amps, will be sufficient until you get into 2000 watt amps or bigger. [/QUOTE]
