[QUOTE="boulderbronco, post: 1587563, member: 564877"] I have an Orion 900.2 that I will be using for my 12" subs. I will be running it at 2ohms 450 Watts per sub. I want to give the amp 4 gauge power and ground inputs but the connectors are for 8 gauge. That to me does not seem to be enough wire. Is there any 4-8 gauge reducer for such an application. I will be running a total of around 1500 Watts for the whole system so I am running 1 guage main wire to a distibution block. Also can I run a 1 guage ground directly to the battery? I have always gone to the body but I feel like a direct connection to the battery would be better. The body is not as good a ground as the frame would be. I don't want to go through the body to the underside where the weather can get to the connections. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
