What gauge wire for PG 4.0:2?

[pcnbaseball44 10+ year member]

I need to buy a wiring kit and i was wondering if i could get away with buying a 10-gauge kit? I think i would probably need an 8-gauge kit but there like $80 bucks compared to $50.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif Also, do i need a distrobution block? Im running two amps but one is to the speakers and one is to the subs. Don't know if im supposed to have a distro block in this instance. I would just get a cheaper amp kit but i want to install it today and i have some gift cards to Best Buy so i guess ill be getting it there.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Goto Wal-mart and spend less than $30 on the 5awg kit from Scosche.

Not the greatest but bigger cable than you're looking at for less money. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I just have like 50 bucks to Best Buy and i need to spend it but the 8ga. at Best Buy is 89.99 b/c its rockford fosgate. I dont want to spend that much!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

like he said, GO TO WAL MART! haha they have different sizes(i think) and they will be a lot cheaper.

and if 4 gauge is really a problem, get a couple terminal ends(or whatever theyre called) for the wire

Is it an absolute necessity to buy from Best Buy?

Did you not see my post about larger wire (in a complete kit, by the way) for less money?

8 gauge, my 4.0:2 has problems excepting anything bigger than that, go to walmart and get the 2amp kit for 2 amplifiers, thats 4gauge with a distrobution block to 2 8awg wires its only like 24 bucks

 

[pcnbaseball44 10+ year member]

Jdizzle - the biggest kit that now Wal-Mart carries uses 5awg reduced to 9awg after the d-block - not the 4awg and 8awg that it used to be.

So will i need to get the one your talking about Prowler? With the distro. block and all.

[pcnbaseball44 10+ year member]

Okay - I stand corrected then. The ones here haven't had it for a couple of years, at least. The pricing didn't change on the kit that replaced it ~ only the overall cable size. But for the OP's needs 5awg to 9awg ought to suffice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

So i do need the one w/ a distro. block? haha sry im just makin sure. I mean if they have the 4 to 8 then ill get that. Its oklahoma....i bet we still have the 4 to 8. Were probably the last ones to change.
