Little bigger than standard 2 guage... great stuff though. You can buy by the foot.

Fixed link... ^^

Thats double the cable you need (it also has the grounding cable). But ya that should work.

However its about 3 x the cost of KNU. 6ft of KNU 1 guage would run you about 17$ after shipping. But the amazon cable comes with the connectors if you don't have them. Fyi KNU makes the best cable out there (so say the Senior people on this forum and I am with them on that.) KNU also has the kits as well, I just put them in they are huge though.

Hope this helps.

BTW make Sure you get an appropriate fuse... it prevents fire and protects your equipment.

You always need to make sure you have a fuse that is inline with the cable from your battery... The fuse you use should be equal to the sum of the fuses that are located on the amp itself. The fuses on the amp are a "last line of defence." You have 3X40A fuses on the amp itself so a fuse higher than 120A should be good, but never exceed what your wire can tollerate. Since you like amazon, the items in the "Frequently Bought Together" section should work, its a 200A fuse and should be fine, but personally I would try to get a fuse closer to 150A.

The 150A fuse if you dont wana go with the 200A...

You'll need 2 terminals so that you can connect both sides of the cut cord to the fuse holders.

And its a good idea to always have an extra fuse on hand... Your problem maybe simpler then what you are making it too... you might just need to check the grounding cable on the amp.

Good luck
