Post Number: 1522 Registered: Apr-06 | u deffinatly dont need zero gauge for 1500rms which is rated at 14.4v so unless ur gettin the HO alt u wont see 1500rms..also its nice to buy 0 gauge now even tho its is not nessary but prices of wire are going up on ebay as well as in car audio shops |

Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 378 Registered: Nov-05 | copper was moved to a precious metal this year.. thats why prices are going up. I've seen 1/0 guages as high as 8.50 a foot in local stores. I paid 4.50 at the beginning of the year. the price of copper has raised so much people are stealing it out of the new houses down here and bringing it to recycling yards |
