Post Number: 1604 Registered: Jul-06 | Well be careful when it comes to wiring.Some companies trick people by posting BS numbers.Example being a "O Gauge" wire may be more than half the thickness in the wire's casing and it's actually not even going to have enough copper to support demands.You're only running 800 watts though so I think you'll be fine.It's always a good idea to upgrade somewhere down the line though.I remember going from 8 gauge to 0 gauge in my buddies car and he definately got a bit more power to his amps and was able to blow his subs that he couldn't blow before from over-powering due to the increased flow of current. |
