[QUOTE="knukonceptz, post: 1301875, member: 548221"] Add up your total fuse ratings, if greater then 120A-130A you would want to upgrade to 2 Gauge or larger. However your amps that power the fronts will not draw much though since they are not playing large bass notes and that causes the greatest demand in the system. I would check what voltage loss you have at the amps compared to the front battery voltage while the system is playing at your normal operating volume. Instead of using the wiring harness for power and ground, run 10 or 12 gauge speaker wire from the rear distribution blocks. By connecting all components to the same power/ground sources you eliminate any chance of a ground loop. [/QUOTE]
