[QUOTE="TheUnderFighter, post: 7266806, member: 631325"] So I'm getting ready to take that step into the big world. Getting a nasty mono amp for my subs and using the ole 4 channel for the speakers... SO, I currently have 8g wire running to a "1000W" Nitro >. Now I'm looking to upgrade to something like a true 1000W mono amp, which is suggested to be 4g wiring... How far does that 4g wire stay recommended til? Is it still ok at 1200W? 1500W? ALSO, I will now be needing a (fused) distro block. So am I correct in assuming I should run 1/0g wire from the bat to the distro, then run my 4 & 8 gauge wire from there? Yes? Keeping in mind I'm on a very tight budget, will I be able to just have a couple feet of the 1/0g wire from the bat and mount the distro in the engine compartment? Or am I supposed to run the 1/0 all the way to the back and mount there? and where do I need to fuse with what size fuses? Basically I need to know if I need to buy a 4awg wiring kit and just a couple feet of 1/0 wire? Or a 1/0 kit and a couple feet of 4awg wire, or something else? Just try to help and answer where you can gang! thanks in advance! Let me know if I need to clear anything else up, I know this is kinda scatter brained. [/QUOTE]
