[QUOTE="kross, post: 4446428, member: 577729"] 1200 watts is getting close to the limits for 4 gauge wire. 4 gauge wire can handle it okay, using the entire cross section of the cable to carry the power. However, at the point where it makes contact in the distribution block, is a weak link in the chain, as well as the fuse holders themselves. These connection points are bottlenecks, and will heat up under high current loads. [/QUOTE]
