[QUOTE="zako, post: 7554184, member: 629735"] Sorry to add another post, but did you really need to buy that amplifier wiring kit? Don't you run some kind of wiring to your trunk already? If you already run 4awg power wire to your trunk, then it must be good for 120-130amps of current, and 120-130 amps of current should be good enough for up to 1355watts of class D RMS power. An oversize 4awg wire, like the one I got in my SteetWires kit from soniceletronix, should be good enough for 150amps of current and well over 1500watts of class D power. Unless you're setting up a massive SPL vehicle, 1 awg is just overkill.. but 8awg seems undersized and also redundant. If you have 4awg power wire running to your trunk, all you need is a power distribution block and a ground distribution block, plus the cables to reach the other amplifier. BTW, I was pulling these numbers from here: [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/wire.htm"]WIRE[/URL] [/QUOTE]
