[QUOTE="awalbert88, post: 92411, member: 545461"] 4AWG should support up to about 2000W without overheating, but using 2AWG won't hurt anything at all. If you plan to run hard loads for a long time (ie. bass tracks), it would be better to just make the jump to 2AWG. And don't worry about 0/1AWG, because that's for 10KW+ applications. As for what amperage fuse you need, that depends on the amplifier. It is best to use whatever the amp uses. For example, if there is a single 25A fuse on the amp, use a 25A fuse on the power wire. If it has two 30A fuses, use a 60A on the power wire, so on and so forth. [/QUOTE]
