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

As Mike answered it does depend on the length of the wire run, however, I do not agree with his stated lengths though and using 12 gauge is asking for a fire. I do believe the instructions tell you to use 10 gauge so I would use that as a minimum...if you are running a very long run (like over 25 feet), I would definitely use 8 gauge minimum. I have the exact heater in my garage and I used 10-2 copper (Cerro-wire I believe) from a 30a abandoned breaker in my panel from my basement all the way into my attached garage (about 20 ft).

I have 0/1 gauge so I'm using a 300a. If I were you I'd go with a 150a-200a.

I'm also using.035 wire with mine. You will need to run a bit hotter then what you chart calls for.

If it says a minimum of 18 gauge then anything larger than 18 gauge is fine. This means that it is not a problem to use a larger gauge. I am not familiar with the gage system though, so that may be diffrent.

the one I purchased was a 12 and a half gauge I used a 12 gauge wire in it it worked fine so if you're says 8 or 9 gauge it should work fine just double check and make sure its not 12 and a half

Of course the bigger the better. It's been awhile since I wired mine but if I remember correctly you are limited by the size of the connector you are attaching the wire to. I believe a used automotive wire from autozone approximately 20 gauge, maybe smaller. The bigger the number the smaller the wire.

It was a close fit from what I recall on my inverter setup. I used the 0 AWG (.325) wire.

Not sure but it really doesn't make any difference,just use the same size wire as the rest of the gauges.

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!

size of wire is mute when application is non critical. i.e.: 22a is a std size for auto speaker wire, 18/20 ga (commonly called "zip cord") is good for small appliances, lamps long distance speaker wire. 18/20 ga is a common size for many uses, depending on your needs. All wires I have mentioned is stranded, so is the 20 ga I got from Amazon. solid wire has specific use as opposed to stranded. Stranded is also cheaper. Check with your electrician for more specific uses.

I have two gauge in mine. That's prob. Pretty close to as big as it goes due to size of the connector that wire goes into.

Any wire that is of the same gauge or bigger will work. All you have to do is cut it and then put in more wire, just make sure you have each wire matching since there is 4 different ones.

most systems at 12 volt use 10 amps or less of power. Therefore, 16 to 18 guage wire should work just fine.

Bare wire is perfect. Just strip it no more than 1/4" and try not to use more than 16 gauge wires.

2 gauge is recommended. I would not go any smaller than that. I currently have 0, but i had to shave down the ends a bit to fit. This is NOT the safest method though.

Hi, We used 16 gauge wire. It works fine for us. Not sure that's the proper gauge but that's what we've used on all our fence chargers.
