Do you guys thinks that an 8 guage power wire will be suitable for a fosgate 451s? I just bought a new amp and I would rather not replace my power wire. The fosgate has a 4 guage input, but this is the only amp that I'm running. My power wire is probably less than 10 ft. because it leads under the passenger seat. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What specs does the amp call for, amp draw?

I'm sure you will be fine with an 8 as long as its about 10 ft.

I just checked it out and the amp calls for an 8 gauge, not a 4 so you will def. be able to run an 8 gauge

dream it, build it, fiberglass it
