what is the largest size power/ground wire that can be used for this amp? In other words, will it accept 0gauge wire without an adapter?

Yes it will work with 0 gauge and no adapter. That's what I'm currently using in mine.

As I understand the bigger the wire the less draw and heat. You can use smaller but bigger provides better protection. I used a 0 gauges with in line fuse. A little struggle getting half inch thick wire through. But even if you have somthing small you can upgrade with out needing a bigger wire if it's already there. The wire I got was so thick it needed a slight trim but it's better to trim then have some little cheap wire melt and short. I never had a system before. It was much cheaper to do it my self. Check diagrams off of crutchfield. And videos off you tube. Everything you need to do it your self is available. Although it's good to gave a helper with big speakers.

I ran 6 awg wire witch is big enough for this amp also use the same 6 awg for the ground.

it will fit fine but I used 12 awg with Sewell banana plugs on my Marantz amp. the longer your run the larger gauge you need. this becomes important around 25-50ft.

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 understand why you would have the amp turned down but........correct power wire will give clean signal to your subs which is more important than keeping your gains down.......so to answer your question buddy, it is OK but we don't agree with ok.....we need 0ga in that vehicle.......also look into getting an upgraded alternator "only if you plan on keeping the vehicle. ......, phill

It depends on how large your 4 channel amp is. Check and add up the fuses in your amp, If it adds up less than 120A then you're good to go. If it is more you will need either solid copper 4 ga or a 2/0 guage kit.

That's perfect right there. I use 0 gauge for mine. This is the most powerful amp I've ever had when it comes to bass. Definitely a must have

I would recommend 4 gauge for the power wire just in case you decide to change your amplifier you will not have to go back and run over the wires. However this is not a very powerful amplifier and I strongly suggest putting the extra money and buying a better amplifier. What are the 12" subs are you going to use?

Ok i would run 0 guage wires because you will be trying to run 120 amps through the wire and usually a four guage wire is 80 amps.. And on my 1100 watt brutus im using official copper speaker wire so i can get as much voltage as ican through the wire . But a complete zero guage wire should be fine speaker cables..

Yes, the amperage of the fuse will have to be determined by the owners manual on the amp. I can't remember the exact spec on the amp size on the fuse. But yes the power terminal on the amp will support a 4 gauge wire, no problem.

16ga is the minimum, but I would use 12ga. Make sure to use Oxygen free copper cable, the cheap stuff is copper clad aluminum. Remember that this is a dual voice coil speaker, so you will run both coils of a single speaker in parallel making the speaker connection 2 ohms to each output of the amp.

I would go with at least a 4 gauge kit for that size of amp. This is more for a 300-400 watt range.

An amplifier has a high current draw. I wouldn't plug an amp in there. The connector on the power supply is referred to as the 'courtesy' and is meant to connect smaller things like another voodoo labs power supply or perhaps a power strip (to connect 9-12v adapters to power pedals)

I can't necessarily say you must use an 8 gauge power cable but my amp was installed with an 8 gauge power cable.

A good brand 8 Gauge should be good for this amp, if(I don't know how you could)you added an extra $10 on the purchase, I have some New 8 Gauge Rolls, I could put together a pretty nice wire kit and ship together! And I can Print of the 18 Page Manual to send along also. Or email it to you!

Howdy William. 4/0 AWG is the minimum for this inverter but the length of wire will dictate the gauge needed for efficient power transfer. Using a fine copper wire cable is key, as is using the proper fuse recommended by the mfg. for the size inverter. I used a high quality heavy duty 0 AWG ultra fine copper wire 10' jumper cable and a 80 amp class T fuse for my SW600. Hope that helps...

Yes it will work with a amp rated around 2000 watts but 0 guage wires are better than that 4 guage
