do it take 4 guage or 8 guage power wire REALLY need to know

I would have to say 4 gauge at the max. I got a 0/1 gauge wire and had to cut a good bit just to get it to fit in. Mines still going strong good luck!(:

It's not even actually 4gauge power wire they said it got mixed up and sent me a interior remover tool. I still have yet to get my money back and that was on the 7th. It's now the 27th. I strongly suggest against this purchase

I would use 6 gauge stranded copper wire as you don't want any more than 3% voltage drop. If operating at the high end of the 600 watt, 4 gauge would even be better. You're actually better off positioning the inverter closer to the battery source and running an extension cord from the inverter to the usage area.

If it is wired properly you should only need a 10amp fuse. If there is too many items on the supply line then it may blow fuse. It should be listed in the instructions what the max fuse size is

It does support 4gauge wire. And you can put whatever size inline fuse but shouldn't need more then a 100 as the amp itself holds 3 40 amp fuses

I think 16 guage is the biggest wire it recommends. I would get something more heavy duty.

need to get wire (16 ga -18 ga), + 2 spade female connecters, and connecters to power source (fused)

It's a multi strand 16 gauge. If u make ur own, it could be anything close. It's only routing 3v dc or less.

Yes, that is what I use and it works with no problem, would be better to use 8 gauge 4 is a little big for the ports.

I don't have any extra 4 gauge to check it but my 12 gauge is copper strand wire. I remember when I was putting it in I was very impressed with the quality. The only thing I would do different is the audio cable. Very small remote power wire and the connectors are cheap.

I don't know the amperage rating of this switch. But I lnow you'll never attach an 8 guage wire to it.

According to the AWG chart, 2 guage wire is good for up to 181 amps. Here's the link to the chart. For your specific application you should consult an electrician. http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

0 Gauge wire should be used!That is what is ran to my Brutus.At the very least a deep cycle battery (fast discharge) should be used!My total system wattage is 5400& I use 0 to each amplifer!The more voltage the better!!!Don't Skimp Out!

If you download the manual off of the pioneer website, page 11 will tell you the gauges for all the cabling required. The power wiring gauge is according to max possible length and a recommendation for gauge. I just used 4 gauge for my setup. The speaker wire ranges from 8-16 gauge. I used 16 gauge as part of the wiring kit I bought.

I used the 8 gage power cable as it suggested. I would ask a local install shop to see if a 10 gage would be a problem.

Here, check this out. 8 gauge and 4 gauge are correct, depending on the distance the amplifier is from the battery. The closer it will be, the less resistance created, thus you can use smaller wire. Also, like others said, the terminals are 8ga on the amp, but you can also use adapters to go from 4ga wire to 8ga terminals. Stinger makes some nice terminals like this that I am using on my setup.http://www.crutchfield.com/S-81IQYmtv6S3/learn/learningcenter/car/cable_gauge_chart.html

I would use 4 gauge if you are going to pump that much power through the system.
