[QUOTE="grandam888, post: 7355743, member: 628519"] Actually the amps will run fine on 8 gauge. The amps will not run warmer on the 8 gauge. And if the alternator is 70 amps big three wil lnot increase its amperage. Big only enables the current to travel more efficiently. One of the amps has a 20 amp fuse other has a 40amp. The amps won't pull the full 60 amps He won't need a HO alternator for this small a set up. OP. Big three is a good idea but may not be necassary. Wait until you get both amps in and see if you have significant dimming while engine is over 1500rpm. If so do big three in 0/1 gauge. Like previously stated eight gauge is okay, but you should really do 4 or bigger[IMG]http://pix.crutchfield.com/kb/Chart.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
