here's a question that I don't think has been answered yet on this:
Every person I've seen talk about this has major stereo or lighting deals, so they usually run 1/0 cable when doing this upgrade. Is there a some kind of guide to what gauge cable you really need?
Someone who is running a stock system could use.....?
Someone running a 200w sub and a 4x50w amp for door speaks could get by with....?
Right now I'm running bone stock stereo. Plan is to eventually add a 200-250w amp and sub, 4x50w for the doors. I doubt I need 1/0 for that. I know, the bigger the cable, the less resistance therefore better current flow, but I think 1/0 would be overkill. Would 4 gauge work just fine? Maybe 2 gauge?
You guys get what I'm asking here?
So is it safe for me to use 1/0 awg wire from my Battery + to my stock alternator?
