Hey guys, I would like to know what size gauge wire you would run with my current setup.
Currently I have a Rockford Fosgate R400-4D 4-channel amplifier (527 RMS on birth sheet) powering my 4 Alpine Type-S SPS-610C component speakers with a 5 gauge wire (from walmart $35 version). I have ordered a set of Alpine Type-S SWS-10D4 10" subwoofers and plan on running them at 1 ohm with a Rockford Fosgate Prime Series R1200-1D, so I assume it's going to actually be a higher rating just like the other RF amp I have.
Would I be alright to just get a distribution block and split the 5 gauge between the two amps? or should I run a lower gauge wire for the new amp? This is not my first system so I have a decent understanding of how things work however, I just have never built a system with this much power, so I would like to do it the safest and easiest way possible.
Also it's going in a 2007 audi a4 with a Pioneer headunit.
