wiring question
ok, i just bought a kicker 05pk simething wiring kit ( the duel amp 0 guage kit) and i was wondering if i could run the 0 guage as my main power wire split it into 2 4 guage then split one of the 4 guage wire into 8 guage wire for my speaker amps. which will be pushing around 225 watts total per amp. but the sub is going to be around 1500 rms

Re: wiring question
0 gauge should be able to handle around 3k watts with no problem. Ive seen some companies rate it at between 3k-5500. And you wont always draw that much power so it will be fine.

Re: wiring question
wires are rated for amps not watts. I usually use the rule of thumb that the next bigger wire can supply 2 of the wires you are using. In your case, a 1/0 gauge wire can feed 2 2 Ga wires, which in turn each can feed 2 4 Ga wires of their own.
