What happened to the Wiring Sticky?

[Kfra315 10+ year member]

Wasnt there a sticky about wiring that laid out gauge recommendations for power outputs, fuse sizes and things of that nature?

If i'm wrong can somebody write one and at least let me know what size fuse I need. I'm running 900 watts on 4 guage wiring and I wanted to pick up a Mini-ANL Fuse and a 5 pack of fuses from Knu. Should I get 100A, 120A, or 150A?

I'm not exeactly sure on this but I do believe knu 4ga website states there 4ga handles a load of 130a. I'd double check to make sure on that.

How about recommendations for speaker wire. The sticky was very detailed about that part.

Thanks for the heads up. According to Knu my KLM wiring handles up to 100A.

For future reference Kolossus take 120A and their new Flex stuff is up to 150A. That all for 4ga of course

Yup. The KLM is copper clad aluminum, while the kolossus is standard AWG 4 gauge copper.

I don't see how they can rate the flex higher than the kolossus because they both consist of 2058 strands of pure copper. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
