[QUOTE="DJSlowfets, post: 8411115, member: 655013"] Thinking today about car amplifiers and thought to myself I have 4 gauge ground and 4 gauge power to allow as much power transfer as possible,right? Simple enough ok. But then why are we powering that amplifier from whatever source 3 batts 300 batts h/o alt no h/o alt making lets just say 1000 watts and then feeding that 1000 watts through 10 gauge speaker wire from amp to the subs. To me doesnt make any sense. Everyones so worried up this hose-like thick cable but whats the point if at your end point youre limiting your "pipeline". Someone elaborate Note-I understand not everyones wattage and setup is the same, but in the end game if youre using 4 gauge to make the power why are we dividing the speaker wire gauge by about 60% lol [/QUOTE]
