QUOTE(OntarioCeli @ Aug 23, 2006 - 10:57 PM) [snapback]472247[/snapback] Go by the fuse size on the amp. If the amp has a 40 amp fuse run a 40 amp on your power line. If your amp has two fuses say two 20amps add them up 20+20= 40 again use a 40 amp fuse and so on... This is what i go by. I also go with same size ground wire as power. that gauge wire btw is fine for that high of a load. A good unproffesional way to check it, is after you listen to them for a while, touch the wire, see if its warm, if so you may consider replacing it with a bigger gauge. But you should be fine. --------------------  |
