use this guide
http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp
any good audio store should sell it .
If your headlights blink - then electrical upgrade is needed . U can also have the voltage tested to be sure when the system is playing full blast ..... |

First of all look at what the amp requires, if that is the only amp you are running except maybe a 4 channel it can be run on 4guage. Do use good rca's. |

I have a question on this too, I have 0 gauge from my battery to my distribution block (i used to have a 1600 watt amp that I thought would need it), I now only run little amps (POS's at that, cuz I'm poor :P), is it detrimental to have that big of wire to little amps? I fried the 200watt POS VR3 I had, so far the 250watt Sony Xplod is doing alright..anyone?

If u already have that fat wire - leave it as long as it can fit into the amp , it should not be any harm ... |
