[QUOTE="pro-rabbit, post: 7442038, member: 551878"] Who were you hanging out with? 4 gauge will limit your power a good amount, but you would surprised as to what that amp was pushing. Again, the wire is a limiting factor. However, to think that the amp will not "over work" itself (or over work the wire) to produce power is wrong. I have tested this theory several times and even done a few clamp tests with just 4 gauge wire to see how my theory held up. It held up about 90% of what I thought. With that said, I have gotten 4 gauge so hot it melted plastic and amps so hot you wouldn't dare touch them during these tests and I do not suggest using lower quality wire or a smaller size then recommended, I just wanted to see how the wire affected the amplifier and its abilities. I'm still unsure on how you are "scared" of an amp. Perhaps I'm just reading this wrong? [/QUOTE]
