Hey guys,
I am going to be putting an amp in my car that is 800W MAX. My current setup will probably be 200x2 (2 OHM ) + 200x1 (4ohm) RMS. What gauge power wire should I use? 4 or 8? and what thickness speaker wire should i use? Thanks guys! |

I would use an 4G. I have 3 amps in my car with a 4G going to a monster spiltter with an output of 8G to the 3 Amps. Also, its a really good idea to have seperate fuzes for all the amps in your car. Saves you alot of money in the long run
