This is a small amp. do I need 8 gage power cable for it?

That's what I used. 4 gauge in from the battery into a 4 gauge to 8 gauge distribution block. 8 gauge out to my F300 and M500.

Yes you do, if you put a smaller gauge wire you will put a lot of resistance on the wire and amp. The amp will run hotter and less efficient .

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.
1867606
Yes. The manual calls for it. I used it in my installation and I cannot see going smaller.
1867607
I can't necessarily say you must use an 8 gauge power cable but my amp was installed with an 8 gauge power cable.

*8 gage is too big and overkilled.I use 12 gage cable on the advise of Clutchfield.Awesome amp.

i wouldnt personally use 10 gauge for an amp of this size, but if your run isnt more than 5-8 feet and only for a day it wont kill it

Yes as for single cable for each (yes) Power supply for each eight! as for Ampere not so sure never checked that i never had a need to know sorry on this one.

No, you'll need an amplifier of some kind. I purchased a small Pyle amp from Amazon to run mine.

Why would u want this sub wired at 8 ohms, if anything u should wire it down to 2 ohms

I honestly don't know, I used this kit for a low end system. (120 watts powered sub/amp combo) The way I see it... the higher the wattage, the lower the gauge. 4 gauge would be better.

My power supply's have an 8 pin cable that breaks into 2, 4 pin connecters, so you'd only use 4 of the 8 pins

I don't know the exact limit of this cable but basically you shouldn't have to worry unless your amps are making around or over 1,000 watts RMS (actual RMS power - don't confuse that with the "Max" power ratings used to market a lot of amps). Although this kit should be fine for 95% of people putting a system in their car, realistically, If I were running 1,500 or 2,000 watt amps I'd go for larger cable. Although 4 gauge is hardly small they do sell even larger car audio power cable for a reason....

The speaker is ohm you should run at least eight gauge power wire for adequate amplifier function

I can't remember how big the openings are because I don't have the amp anymore, however, if you already have 8 ran, might as well just use it. Trim the wire to size if you need to. Bigger is better than smaller

I would go with xs power. But if you are hellbenton ggetting this one then you would run 1/0 cable from positive to positive and negative to negative. Then run another cable of the size you need for your amp.
1866695
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.

Yes.I have two of them.One for an 800 watt 4 x 10 and a second for a 500 watt 1 x 18 each cab at 4 ohms.It should run an 8 x 10 with no problem.

I used 8 gauge for 6*9. Personally I would go 6 gauge. But not knowing the power of your amp and Speakers I can't say more. Don't buy the cheaper ones. Solid copper not copper coated.

It's recommended for 4 AWG & 8 AWG. 6 AWG is right in the middle so it shouldn't be an issue. One side should connect to the battery and the other side should connect to the power on the amp. All you have to do is unscrew the end caps, put your wires in and tighten down the allen bolts on both sides. THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A FUSE. So you'll need to buy an AGU fuse to complete the connection 40, 60, 80, or 100 depending on your amp. The fuse is placed in the center of the holder. Hope this helps.

That shouldn't be an issue. The amp is strong. Don't let the physical size of it mislead you. I would recommend it.

I would not run that amp with anything smaller than 1/0 wire and at least 1 extra battery. That amp is very unstable at .5 ohms. I had one blow on me twice.
