Need some wiring help

[RaGe420 10+ year member]

I am going to be running a MTX Thunder 15001D and was wondering if I could get away with running 4 gauge or would I have to go upto 0 gauge for it?

Thanks for any help

Are you going to be running it hard? Meaning what subs/ ohm config are you going to be running it at?

I would most likely say that 0 gauge would be the way to go. Better to have too much power than not enough....

Is there a reason you are considering 4 gauge insted of 0?

I would suggest at least 2awg for that amp if you're going to run it hard.

I understand the costs of the kits can be prohibitive but in case you didn't know you can buy your wiring and related accessories from the 'Net (and there are multiple trustworthy sources) and save heaps of $$$ over getting an all-in-one wiring kit from like Best Buy or Circuit City or wherever //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

http://www.weldingsupply.com is a good place to look for large gauge cabling

http://www.darvex.com is a great source for distros, RCAs, power cable, speaker wire, etc. The owner of that site also sells on eBay under the username bag-boy. Close to 30K feedback and is still at 100% positive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

http://www.knukonceptz.com is another good source for much-cheaper-than-retail wiring.
