2 gage wire.

i just got a rockfordfosgate 1501 bd amp. it says recommended wire 4 gage. people on here are telling me to get 2 gauge. my question is will 2 gauge fitit says "an recommend up to a 4 awg" what does that mean? an will a 2 gauge fit?southsider

that means that the amp terminals will accept 4 gauge wire and that it recommends 4 gauge because of the amount of amps you are going to be pulling with that amplifier.  the more amps you pull the bigger your wire should be what!?!?! you want some??

so should i get a 4 gauge or go with 2 gauge. or will the 2 gauge over heat an be to mauch for this amp? what would u suggest?southsider

anyone else. i just want this to get as much power as it can handle .southsider

a 2 gauge will not make a heat diff. so if u can fit it then you can.dream it, build it, fiberglass it

2 guage will not "deliver" more current, it can just handle more current than 4 guage. so if you draw the same current through both wires, the 2 guage will deliver more efficiently(with less heat as well). Think of a garden hose and a fire hose, if you put the same amount of water through both, the water would flow better through the fire hose since it's thicker.Jon

Don't like rockford subs? Then don't look at my car =)

with that amp 4 ga is more than enough for almost any car you can get.Quad L Handyman services
