[QUOTE="SLAB153, post: 8541681, member: 671631"] Because I was told by both sundown and skar reps that I'm not getting the full power from amp to subs if I'm using smaller than recommended power wire and fuse in other words a 4 gauge will let up to say 160 amps at most pass thru it won't necessarily pop the 150a fuse, audio shop says 4ga for up to 1000w n over 1000w they go 0ga, I'll play with it once I get home n see if the 0ga will pop the 150a fuse which I think it will.
