Power wire. 8ga.?
Is 8 gauge OK?
In my current system my installer installed (?!?) TWO 8 gauge power wires from the battery to my two amps (one wire for each). I've been looking to add a single, smaller amp for the front end and have been therefore looking for a distribution block to help power that third amp. In looking for said blocks almost all I can find accept 4ga. power leads from the battery and split up into 8ga. out to the amps. This raises the question: A) Should I uninstall the two 8ga. power leads and reinstall one 4ga.? or B) Can I shove the 8ga. leads in a 4ga. hole in the dist block and go from there? Thoughts? BTW; amps a 4x60RMS for the mids, 2x150RMS for the subs (and both are relatively high current) and I'm looking at a 2x30/35rms for the front end. Thanks, Eric G. |
