I have a voltage problem. I just installed 2 12 inch kicker l7 in my acura rsx. i have a 2400 watt amp and a 2.2 farad capacitor. I ran 4 guage wire and i am only getting like 5 volts of power on the backside of my fuseholder. there is 12 on the frontside. is it the fuse, what size do i need. do i need to run 0 guage wire?

Replace the fuse and check again.

depends on the distance. If I recall correctly running 4awg to the back of a RSX is around 14-16 feet, and your pumping 2400 watts so I'd suggest going with 150 amp fuse through 2-0 awg wiring, that should be sufficient to reach your peak power of 2400 watts.
