So i got about 7 feet of 4 gauge power wire from batt to the 2k6d amp. 2100 watts at 14.4 volts amp is drawing 146 amps 2100 watts at 12.5 volts amp is drawing 168 amps Now since im not gonna be burping or getting metered, music tones are whats gonna be reproduced, so at the "worst" (i assume) we are looking at 1/2 that amperage with music, right? If that is correct, then 73 to 84 amps of draw from the stetsom should be commonplace... right? Now then...to my point... Do i really need two runs of 4 gauge then? shouldn't one suffice with that length and current draw? Please correct me if im wrong.
