Did you run 0 gauge or 4 gauge inputs to your amp?

Did you notice a difference? I have 0 going to a distro 0ga in/two 4ga out, and I wanna use my other 4ga out for another amp...

ya i stopped poppin my 120 amp fuse lol.

but it can be ran with 4 awg. I just preferred 0 awg

oh shit... I guess I will go get a new fuse holder for 0ga tmmrw..

anyone else run 4ga in a md2d

doesn't it have 1/0awg inputs? If so, i'd stick with the biggest you can go with it. No reason not to be able to do it though, just be careful i suppose

If 4ga can support 135amps at 5 meters and my cable is maybe 2 meters if that and I have the 120amp fuse on the distro block shouldn't I be ok? I don't want to have to go have to do a run of 4ga from my battery to the cabin because I have one run of 0guage going to an amp that draws maybe 120amps max. Ideally wouldn't I be safe with a 0 from the battery to a 200 amp fuse with 0gauge then running to the cabin to a distro block that has 2 4ga outs, one fused for my MD2D at 120amps and one fused for 80 for my mids highs amp? I don't want to have to go spend more on 1/0 ring terminals and fuse holders plus the extra cash for the "new run" of 4ga, if I don't have too...

also isn't the md2d pretty decently efficient at 1ohm still? I mean more than 60% that that 4ga 135 amp at 5meter law applies too... Meaning that the 4ga would be able to draw a lil more amperage if need be.
