amp powering 2 subs in trunk (500wrms each/1000wrms total) amp is in trunk. another amp in trunk going to front speakers about 20 feet away to each one and rear speakers about 10 feet away to each one (60wrms to each channel, 4 channels, 240wrms total)
amplifiers are kicker zx1000.1 and zx350.4

14 gauge is way overkill for components even for high power components the most you would need is 16 gauge |
