[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7018574, member: 624844"] It depends entirely on the length of the run and the amount of current you are drawing. There's a reason a 1500-watt heater doesn't use a 0/1 gauge power cable. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Long story short, as long as you're not running more than 12-feet of 4 gauge at 1000-watts, you'll be fine. If you're going over 12-feet, I would upgrade to 0/1 or 2 gauge depending on the length. If you disconnected your speaker wires and the amp still went into protect, chances are the amp is blown unless you have your gains maxed out or you have another short in your wiring. Try powering on the amp with nothing attached to it (no RCA's, speaker wires). If it still goes into protect, your amp definitely needs repair. [/QUOTE]
