[QUOTE="Savant, post: 128001, member: 546108"] If you aren't so worried about looks, etc.. you can use welding wire as power wire (at least, someone here says they use it and it's fine, I have some comming but don't know if it works all that well yet... Should be fine though).. There is a post about cheap power wire out there that has the link.. 73 cents a foot (instead of $3).. You will need an inline fuse near the battery (and fuse holder obviously).. I have #2 wire comming, I think it's AWG2 (rated at 250 amps at 25 ft) and your amp probably won't take that.. so you would need some way to make that wire smaller (there are gauge adapters out there) before it got in the amp (unless it's set for 0 gauge).. you will also need a battery terminal connector for the power wire.. and a piece of ground wire for the amp (same size as the feed into the amp).. hope that helps..
