Re: how thick of wire do i use for my subs
dotn mean to change the thread but while its on the topic about how much power will 4 guage work with befor eyou need to upgrade to 2/1/0 ga.? the reason im curious is the hifonics brutus 1500 had connections for 4 ga. power/gnd wires. is 1500 fine with 4 guage wire? or if not what is the cutoff for about how much power can be run through 4 ga. wire.
oh and i knwo the length of the wire makes a difference but im just trying to get an estimate.. like figure the wire is like 15 ft.

Re: how thick of wire do i use for my subs
it's based on current, not power
4awg is good up to ~125amps
