[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6963382, member: 576029"] the "0 gauge" you have is closer to 2 gauge, which should still be fine as long as both power and ground are that size. you should have good quality ring terminals on the wire terminations at the battery. i assume you have a distribution block for power and ground at the amps? you need to monitor the voltage when the amps cut out. if it's below 11.5VDC, then you have identified the issue as low voltage. You can easily upgrade the alt on that 5.7L which is probably a good idea if you plan on running the stereo often. 160A alt minmum. [/QUOTE]
