Better Safe than Sorry my friend. This would get ride of your headache and its not that much like 8 bucks. Hope I helped some.

n2audio must not have read the chart very good. It says maximum current for less than a half volt drop is 900 whichis way more that the 175 Zapco recommends. Do it it will be fine.

I read the chart just fine. And you're dumb.

who are you to call me dumb when your the idiot that posts a reply about the chart not factoring in current when it did. Your dumb

If you don't understand there is a current limitation on any given size of wire - regardless of length or voltage you shouldn't be trying to contribute to the discussion.

Since you're so smart -- take yourself a piece of 4 ga wire just long enough to reach from the (+) terminal of your battery to the (-)

According to your implication a 2' piece of 4 ga can safely conduct 900A+ so a ~1' piece should have no problem at all conducting the few hundred amps your battery can put out, right?

Do that and let us know how it goes.

Let me restate my position...

Will a short piece of 4 ga to an efficient 2200w amp "work"?

Probably. IF you're listening to MUSIC, and listening at moderate levels. Under those conditions the current draw should be within the limits of 4 ga.

HOWEVER - an amp capable of 175-200A of current draw during high volume test tone burps most definitely would be capable of heating up 4 ga wire, and you WOULD be risking a fire. Fuse at 125A and you should be safe, but this is an amp worth more than 1/2 as much as my car. Why would you go cheap on a 2' piece of wire?
