[QUOTE="BooLeaN, post: 385590, member: 550867"] I would get 4 gague either way. You really need it. Not having 4 gague wire could have helped in the breaking of the amp, but may have not been the cause. I broke an American Bass CX1200D and the shop I took it to said that the reason it broke was from the 8 gague wire i had on it. The reason they gave me is that if the amp sees less than 10 volts, it will break. I don't know if that is true but after a $200 repair bill, I didn't want to try again. Running less than 4 gague wire might cause a slight voltage drop. Maybe along with other factors it is just enough to break the amp. Make sure you have a good ground and make sure that your charging system is upto par. If it isn't then you can drain your battery right out if you run the system to hard for too long and that will make the amp see less than 10 volts for sure, If that store is right, then the amp would be busted. Hope that helps. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
