Amplifier Power
confused about certain amplifier power wires, Help please?
I just recently purchased a 4 gauge amp wiring kit, not realizing it says its for a 1500 watt amp. I have a 1500 fosgate amp bridged pushing my two 12's and I have a 800 watt kenwood that is pushing my mids, is this wire good for this kind of system? I have a capacitor that is also hooked up to all this. Should I buy the 0 gauge power wire?
You are fine. Too many people are worried about wiring. It makes no difference. The only problem you would have is if the gauge was too small and couldn't push the speakers.
Example: I am a Bassist and my Head is a Hartke 350 watt Amp. My 2 cabinets are 2 10" on top and an 18" on the bottom. You know what I use to connect them? Brown Lamp cord. I soldered 1/4" jacks onto each end and have the cleanest sound you could imagine. Lamp Cord is incredibly well insulated and is way over spec for my Amp and Speakers.
I can play a concert hall without cranking my Amps volume over 2 one the dial.
If I cranked it up to 4 I could blow every window in my house out and probably do some damage to my Kidneys.
Trust me, you are fine.
It's the fuse you have to worry about (if there is one).
If your speakers start to stutter then you have a problem. From the info you have given me that doesn't sound like you will have a problem.
Always remember this: If the wire you are running from your Amp to your Speakers is a bigger Gauge than is required, you will have no problem.
Crank it up (as long as you aren't my neighbor)!
