[QUOTE="chornet44, post: 8827915, member: 576352"] You will be using roughly 80amp and going only 10 or so ft so you could use as small as 8ga. If you think you might upgrade later and use mor or bigger amps then get 4ga now and you’ll be good. I would research “big 3 upgrade” it’s very simple and you can use your 4 ga wire or get some battery cables from the parts store. Alternator and battery will just depend on what you have in the car now, it may be enough to keep up. And you will need a fuse close to your battery on your power wire. As for getting a bigger amp and not turning it up is fine. Watch some YouTube videos on setting amp gains. [/QUOTE]
