from 4 guage to 0

I am currently running 4 guage wires to a 6 channel amp and a 2 channel amp. IM trying to get the best sound out of my system and was wondering if i went down to 0 guage wire if it would help any? My amps are both Digital Audio the 2 channel is 2400 watts and the 6 channel is 75x6. Let me know

4AWG is good up to ~1500W. Anything more than that, run 0AWG. Check out Knu's Kolossus Fleks. http://www.knukonceptz.com

amps are probably overrated. but probably still more than 4ga can handle and you're not getting full potential from your equipment.

go 1/0.

Even if 4ga can handle the power, it will have more resistance than a larger wire. By upgrading the wire you (might) get around 0.5 more volts at your amp which would get a few more watts out of your amps.

And make sure you did the big 3 if you haven't.
