[QUOTE="SPL Blazer, post: 5268398, member: 587873"] I checked it out and I'm surprised they say 1/0 ga for something as small as a 1500 watt amp, thats a little overkill for that amp. I've been running my RF 1600 watt amp with 4 ga for years and it's perfect for it. A good run of 0/1 ga wire from the front battery to the rear dist block and then 4ga to the sub amp will provide you plenty of power for that amp. You could use 0/1 ga for that too if you want to spend the extra money, but it's gonna be hard to find a dist block with a 0/1 ga output terminal. The length of the wire run from the dist block to the amp should be fairly short so 4ga would be fine for your install. [/QUOTE]
