[QUOTE="Bumpin' Goalie, post: 6690384, member: 616941"] Running a JL 300/2 (4 ohm) and an AQ 1200d (1 ohm) off of 1 strand of 4g split into 8g via a distro. Obviously this is smaller than recommended. However, I have been slow to upgrade wires since the amps read 12.8-13.5 regularly. The under-hood battery reads 14.1-14.7 regularly. So, to my question: I'm guessing that upping my wire to 0g or running another strand of 4g will up my amps' voltage. Will any other affects occur? Mainly, will my battery/alternator have to work harder to meet the demands being requested by the amps via the bigger wire? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
