if it is going to be from your engine compartment to your trunk, i would use 2 gauge, but that is just me. i have 4 gauge running a Kicker 1200.1, but that is only like a 2 foot cable.

Going from engine to trunk maybe 16 feet? Getting 2 gauge wire would be fine for me but will it fit in the power input fine?

you'll need to convert it to 4guage to fit into the amp itself

i would run two gauge back to a distrobution block and take it down to 4 gauge for a short run to the amp. If you wanted to go all out, you could do 1/0 then distro down to 4. 2 will suffice fine though.

where is a good place to get a distrobution block that will do that?

I meant are there sites that have distros that go from like a 2 gauge input with just 1 4 gauge output. But thanks for being an *** about it.

You can 4 or 2. If you really wanted to run 2, its not too much of a problem fitting it in if you really tried. You can even shave a few strands off the end to the amp.

im gettin a 15" XXX and hifonics 1500d and im gonna be using 1/0 wire for the amp, just get a wire adapter...1/0 gauge to 4 gauge adapter works nice

Same thing I am doing.

I bought 16 feet of ot guage and man alive... when they rand me up for $116 I was like "Jeebus, I know it was expensive, but..." (I also was buying a few other things)...

This right after I bought 18 feet of 4 ga for $37 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
