Whuts up guys / girl? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I am upgrading my system in spring...and wil def need to upgrade my ground and power wire... (8 AWG) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

But everywhere I look...4 gauge wire is pretty **** expesive...All I need is the wire..I alread got RCA's and a remote wire. Now, 4 gauge will do for me....BUT I can buy 50 ft ( I also need to upgrade alt wires) sorry, 50 feet of 2 gauge wire...or 0/2....something like that...for 15 dollaz

It shouldnt matter if my ground wire and power wire is too big, should iit?

thanx

In your dreams~

first of... you wont find 50 ft of 0/2 guage power wire.....

second... why the hell do you need 50 ft of power wire??? 20ft is the most i've seen and that's even too long, the longer your wire is, you looses current...... unless you have a BUS then 50 ft is ok... (unless you have 3 cars to do or you're using it as speaker wire)

3rd.. YES bigger is better, like all the woman say, but it's harder to run install

(run through) and more money..
