Wire Size

[BNolan12 10+ year member]

What size wire should i go with? I have 4 awg installed now for my previous system but i am getting a sundown sax1200 and a smaller amp(not sure actually what) for my mids. I will be doing the big 3 and i have a kinetik HC600 battery. Would i be ok with the 4 gauge that i have now or do i need to go with 0 gauge??

Youll probably be ok then... What will you have the 1200 wired to?

Car? Wire is typically rated at 20 feet so if its only half that length youll be just fine...

no its a lil Chevrolet colorado. Its shorter than 20 ft for sure. thanks for the help. Should i do big 3 in 4 gauge also? How much ft does it typically take to do a big 3?

Did it come in a kit? No if I was you I would do the big 3 in 1/0, you can do it in 4 gauge but might as well just step and do it right... It usually takes about 10 feet but just take a string and measure...
