[QUOTE="Larrydehp920r, post: 16664, member: 541954"] I would go by one simple rule of thumb if I were you. If you have 2 amps going I would definitely run 4 gauge. What it does is helps your amps run cooler, which makes them run more efficeintly and most important, last LONGER. If you notice any audible differences it will be in the tightness of your bass. Bass is the hardest frequencies to reproduce for an amp. Therefore when your amp needs to come up with 14 to 16 volt burst to reproduce a big bass drum thump it will not get it from smaller power cable. So your bass will be tighter and more accurate. And, if you plan on adding a 3rd amp in the future I would think ahead and run 2 or 1/O gauge. THat you don't have to ever replace your power cable run again. Larry [/QUOTE]
