[QUOTE="Ekisaacs, post: 8571620, member: 673024"] Sorry about not sharing what vehicle, it's a 2001 Durango and the factory grounds and power cable from alternator to the fuse box under the hood was about 6-8 gauge. The 4 gauge I put in place of the factory wiring was defenitley bigger. I've heard the T1000 amps like to draw a lot of amperage, specially the mode I have, the (2006) model. Like I said I would have ran 0 gauge and planned too but I was told the amp wouldn't accept O gauge that it would only accept 4 gauge, which is true on the newer t1000's but the one I have will accept 0 gauge. So after finding that out is when I decided to get an Agm battery because I needed a new battery anyways, and while I was replacing the battery I upgraded the grounds and alternator power wire to 4 gauge ofc wire as well. I will eventually get the 4 gauge power wire out and install 0 gauge when I get around to it. I figured having the big 3 upgraded to ofc 4 gauge and having the Agm battery that it would help compensate for the 4 gauge power wire on the amp. After installing the Agm and doing the big 3 I could tell a difference with the lights dimming at night and my battery gauge on the instrument cluster stays steadier then it did before doing the big 3 and the Agm battery. I'm also running a 160 amp alternator which is the heaviest duty you can get as a stock replacement. [/QUOTE]
