[QUOTE="ccapital83, post: 8041695, member: 628773"] ok so i am running q4.150 @2 ohmsx4 and hifonics glx1400.1 @1ohms both amps have 2 70a fuses so a total of 280a combined. before i had these i only had one small 4 channel amp so i only ran stinger hpm 4 guage power wire. now before i say yes obviousley i need way bigger wire with that much rms and amperage let me just say this before i go spend money on new wire and fuses, I have a 5 farad cap with works great i know alot of people hate them but thats what my stinger 4 guage runs to. I currently have a 250a fuse in my power wire, and neither amp ever gets warm ever also ive never blown a fuse in either amp or in the power line, i have 0 guage from battery to alternator and 0 guage ground on battery. the power line is never hot or warm the grounds also never hot or warm and strangely i never get a voltage drop and absolutely no diming lights so im like ok before i switch all this wiring and spend money should i waste my time. i know on paper yes bigtime but this setup has worked perfect so what is the benefit for changing? im not against it if theres a big reason to change it out. is it audibly to change it? because as of now everything runs and sounds great. input and opionions welcome and appretiated.
