(I have a jensen jxp680 amp. on the front it says it is 680 watts x 4 channels, but the back says 60x 4 @4 ohms. it has two 25 amp fuses in it.) i have 8 ga. power wire on it but i was wondering if that was overkill(i know you cant have too big of wire but...). Whatsize would you recomend?

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

you fine, if you want to consider running a higher amp later save the time and put 4 guage in unless the 8 is already in oooops and you just stated the true fact of jensen/legacy/praymid ect ect overrated!!!! 680 total maybe at 40% distortion and ready to blow up
