Does this amp have 0 gauge terminals, or 4 like the 1300???

4 gauge but I suggest buying 0 gauge with 4 gauge reducers to feed this beast

I fit 2 gauge in there but the set screw is completely backed out and it just barely fit

22 gauge maybe they may be small but its not like it draws a enormous amount of power to make it work. I have one and it works great im running 4400 watts of RAAW true RMS power to 4 mofo 12's and no problem with the unit.

The technical answer depends on the distance from your battery to your amp. As long as it is less than 15 feet of wire (quite likely, unless you are installing it in the rear end of a Suburban - then it's dodgy), 8 gauge is plenty to give you less than a 3% voltage drop. From 15-30 feet, you should use 6 gauge. 4 gauge is really overkill unless you are in the 30-50 foot range, which you'd never come close to, unless you're installing this in a motor home, and even then you wouldn't hit 30 feet unless you're installing it on the opposite end of the vehicle from where the battery is.

it can fit 4 guage in the terminals of the x-12 d2 i have 2 cadence 8 guage wires NOT trimmed but twisted together in EACH terminal.. will need awesome wire tho. can really take some heat.

Most high power amps will require atleast 4 gauge wiring. I run no less than 2 gauge. If you use too small of a wire, the amp will play but on hard hitting bass lines you'll see the protection light coming on and possibly burn up the amp in the long run.

I used 4 gauge & it's worked perfectly for over a year. Yes it's 150w x 4 & 500w sub (2 ohm). This is a great amp, you won't regret purchasing.

For power I would use 4 guage. And of course the same or larger for a ground. For a 1200watt amp 4 will suffice. Or you could always go wit the big 3 upgrade. All 0. Let it hit!! Lol.

Yeah. Single 4ohms and even dual 4 ohms. I game mine to my son and it works like a charm. Cheap amp. Just keep in mind that there are some defective ones out there . But P.A will repair it for free. Minus shipping and handling.

Any 4 Gauge amp kit.0 Gauge will not fit8 gauge is WAY too small for the amount of power this amp outs out at 1ohm and you could start a fire if you push it too hard.

I don't have one, sorry. Look in your manual, all you have to do is match the voltage and amps. I don't have my original one either.

I have no idea, but I just read the manual and it states 125@ 8ohms, and 200 @4 ohms.

This system needs an amp and some wire. I have 16 gauge, others prefer 14 gauge.

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 is 1/0 meaning 0 (zero) gauge. It is the thinnest grade of the zero gauge wires...4/0 being the thickest of the ones you listed. I was at first confused when I first started getting into acquiring this thick heavy gauge wire for my power inverter/battery setup.

With no problems . As long as your wiring is correct . Mine ran my four alpine type r 12s and never got hot at 1ohm . The amp is worth the buy . Take the chance you won't be let down .

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!

It looks like there are FOUR 1/4" or maybe 5/16ths" (or metric eq.) sized bolt on terminals for the positive, and four more for the negative DC side - and I think 3/0 will do close to 200a, and 4/0 will do 250a or so (if your connectors are properly crimped, that is), so with 4 PAIR of DC input cables with very large conductors they may have enough input conductor capacity for over 800 amps, but STILL, that sucker must get good and hot with it running at 10KW continuously (or even close). It weight just under 50 lbs, so it must be larger than it seems in the pictures, too. Either way, 10KW is a BUNCH of watts!
