I have 4ga power ran for now (Was just using 1000-1200w) . I was wondering if it would be bad or if it was possible to hook up a 2000w amp but use a DMM to set it down to around 1000-1200w..... anyone?

I eventually plan on getting a HO alt and 0ga ran.

sure it's possible, but why not go ahead and run 0ga? why get a 2kwrms amp if you're not going to use the power?

Well I can think of a couple reasons....

One being its too good of a deal to pass up and I need an amp in my car.

And another because not everybody has the time and money to get a HO alt and 0ga ran anda couple more woofers... I plan on doing it when I get the funds.

Basically I was just wondering if I could tune the amp down and direct replace it for now.

Would I recommend it... no

Will it work... yes (as long as the power wire is properly fused with the proper size fuse for the wire size)

If you already have a 1000w amp i would buy the other one and just wait till you have proper electrical to install it.
