Was wondering what to do here.
System consist of 1 kx 1200.1 and a pg qx 150 that i recently bought from another board member [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
Anyway my power wire right now is 4 awg about 12 ft long.
I do plan on putting a bigger wire but i THINK im ok for now as i'm only running 1.5 ohms with the kicker so about 900w @ 1.5 ohms.
Theres inputs for 0 awg wires but even at 1200 watts is that really needed?

Basically what i need to know is if i upgrade to 2 awg will that be enough?
And if i decide to drop to 1 ohm will 2 awg still provide enough current.

TIA,Mike

Id upgrade to at least 2awg for now... if you were loading that amp down I think she can pull 180+ amps of current...

If you were operating below 1ohm with the PG amp to boot, Id definatly go 1/0..

If your charging system is not upgraded you will not have to worry at all...

Go to 2 AWG after you get your alternator re-wound.

His car battery should be able to supply much more current then the alternator for short periods of time... that amp could still draw high amounts of amperage....

trust me, the bigger wire would be better !

As far as the charging system goes i do plan to upgade that as well but i can only go one step at a time.(oh to be a blue collar working stiff,lol
My stock alt is 105 amps so its not TOO bad .
So straight to 1/0 i guess, No point in wasting money on 2 awg?
Wondering weres a good place to get it round here at a decent price?

Any help?
