Power Capacity
whats the power capacity of diffrent wire sizes? (is there a web site with listings?)
im getting ready to purchase and run my power/ground and want to know what i will be needing.
i will be running 800-1000wrms for subs, prob. 200-300wrms for the front and if i reuse an old amp i have for the rear 180wrms. (will be used for fronts till i can afford a better one for front stage)
would 2/0 for power and ground be enough?
do i really need to run ground from the battery or would i be wasting money for nothing?
is it ok to ground to a seat post close to the amps using a dis block?
a dis block for power if 1/0 is used from batt.?
also what size wire for the doors would be recomended?
alot of questions i know! just trying to make an informed purchase.
here is what i will be running:
HU - Kenwood DNX8120 (already installed)
Subs - not sure (need help SQ)
Front - CDT ES-06+ Midbass, ES-02 Midrange, TW-22T Upstage Tweeter, MX-1000 Crossover.
Maybe a CDT CS-020 for centre later on. not sure how it will sound. would luv to hear a centre stage in a vehicle first!
Rear - CDT CL6EX
the speakers were suppose to be here by tues but a shipping misshap set the date to next week some time.. we are all human after all.
if anyone is looking for a great deal on CDT give Ross a shout out. great pricing.
tia for the help guys!

dont know

Its never wasting money. Its always a good idea to do.
is it ok to ground to a seat post close to the amps using a dis block?
yeah but if it whines dont come crying to us.
a dis block for power if 1/0 is used from batt.?
yep
also what size wire for the doors would be recomended?
for speakers? they usually come with there own but 14ga would likely be fine...
Honestly your best off to run both a power and ground from the batt.. and use 1/0 then you can dist block to the amps, that should be fine.
