[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 102250, member: 540940"] You have to realize that the amp has been tested to have a maximum current draw of 114A. At typical listening levels you probably would rarely exceed half that, and even at vull volume you'd probably rarely exceed 100A unless you're listening to SERIOUS bass. 4 ga. wire is capable of carrying ~125A. Yes, bigger would be fine, but the 1200.1 alone will not under any circumstances exceed the capacity of 4 ga wire. I am personally running a class D amp putting out about 800rms and a component amp capable of about 250rms. My 4 ga wire with an 80A agu has yet to fail. [/QUOTE]
