[QUOTE="smoka, post: 5688369, member: 606721"] 4 gauge wire should work fine if it is a short run. The resistance in the wire is where you loose voltage which causes reduces the output from your amp. The resistance is calculated by the guage of the wire and the length (and the material used if you want to get technical). The longer the run the larger the wire in order to keep resistance down. Thats why people use 1/0 guage for the long runs. So if you keep your length short. A 4 guage will work fine for your amp and not lose any power. [/QUOTE]
