0 gauge for 4

HighRev87 · #1 01-10-2005, 02:50 PM

Can I use my old 0 gauge wire on a system requiring 4? Will it cause any problems? Id rather do this than spend the extra $$$ on new wires...

yea

Yes you can use it, it wont cause any problems besides maby not being able to jam it into the amp terminal.

or in other words a simple yea would do

Not really, he asked if it would work then he asked if it would cause problems, "yea" only answered one.

well actually, theres a few different problems it could cause... see when you run a 4 guage wire, theres a lot more places, and options for you as opposed to when you run zero gauge wire. Your 0 gauge may not fit, or bend properly for the location you would like to run it, thus causing a problem. As well as the afore mentioned dilemma of having to jam the 0 guage into a 4 gauge terminal... another problem. Yes it would work. Yes it can cause problems. The answer(s) is yes.

(just being an ass)

Im tellin you, that is a middle eastern word

No problems. Dont try to jam 0awg into 4awg amp terminal. trim it down or use a step down device. 0awg will bend just as well as any other diameter wire. The diameter is the minimal radius of hte bend you may use other wise you may internally rupture the wire or stress the caseing.
The good points? well if 4 is all that is required then no major goods are going to come from it. Slightly lowered resistance means a slightly more efficent elecrical system as far as your power wires go.

Well the previous install it was used on was for an amp that didnt need 0awg, so the terminal is already made small. No problems there...After school tomorrow I have to bring my car to the repair shop (brake problems), but friday the install should take place.

Well remember....im the one with the two MTX 10" thunder 8000s. I 100% admit they are not the best, but I couldnt have goten better for the deal I got them for. 2 Subs brand new $80 shipped (not eBay). Sure mtx is more spl then quality (which id rather have more sq), but it was either budget system or no system. With the extra money I saved, I can do some front stage (Ford Mach Audio is overrated).
Ill wait for my Better quality system for when I am older. I plan on having (obviously once out of college) a daily driver that is all sounds, and a sports car/weekend driver. As of now Im 17 with an inbetween (Mustang GT daily driver).

Well for a low budget system, and the price i must say not too bad at all. at least you didnt go for walmart Xplod's or Lightning audio. If youve never heard an SQ woofer then MTX sounds good. Wait till the day you can afford a Brahma. You ears will thank you.

how true that is

I thought the general tonality and imaging of my system was great, and I also thought my Sony MDR-V600's were great, until I got some Sennheiser hd595s. I have a lot of work ahead of me
