What does this mean?
I can't believe I'm saying this, but listen to King Ranch.

It means, that.. Wtf is the point of using 1/0 for a 6in ground? Or a 2.5ft engine block ground?

it makes a huge difference man

for the power you want at imp you want kicker will probably be your best best. To bad you dont want 800wrms @ 1 ohm because I would sell you my HK1000D. Does well on a stock electrical with the big 3 done. Many like to believe the amp is not 1 ohm stable but their misled.

How much are you selling this for? I don't really have the money right now though, but an amp is a for sure upgrade in the near future, I just need to check the balance on my Ult. Elec. account.

I want a factual reason why the big three is needed in 1/0 wire.

For the moment? 1000w at 2ohm or 4ohm.

do you have the subs yet? because if you can run 4 ohms, then you can run 1ohm

if you already have subs, then prolly not 2 and/or 4ohms

yes lol idk what I was saying hahah, meant 2ohm or 8ohm... lol so yeah, just 2ohms.

There are no facts stated in there, besides that you will have more surface area for the power to transfer on, which makes sense yes, but why do you need that much surface area. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I'll do it when I get some time. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

point of the big 3 in 1/0 is when u r running alot of power your stock wiring 6 guage or w/e cant supply that amount of current through it to keep up with the amount of power you are drawing, your stock wiring is made to run your stock truck and its electrical not amps and alot of power

yes to the HK linethey are POWER HUNGRY though

Miker this is some what true. Yes the Hk4000d and Hk2000d do **** some power even more when ran at lower ohm loads when any amp will draw more power. The HK lower lines like 1000d I think 7 or 4 ood's are lower draws....

The 602 and 802 HC line pull more then the 2000 and 4000d.

WHOLY CRAP!!! i need an amp that runs at 1 ohm on stock at 800 rms on 1 ohm!!! haha ive been looking 4 a while...how much $$??

smaller wires can only handle a certain amount of current. and have more resistance. trying to supply a 1000w amp on stock wiring is going to strain your electrical, because its trying to pull more current than the wires can handle.

now upgrade the wires to 1/0, and you have way less resistance. that means more current goes throught alot faster, which equals less strain on the elctrical system.

power flows faster with less resistance. hence why amplifiers make certain rms power at different ohms, 4ohms will have more resistance than 2ohms, get what im saying?

Ok, less strain, makes sense.
