What are the effects on an amp when you use power/ground wires that are too small? I bought a set of 8 guage wires off of OKorder, and it stated they can handle up to 1000W. I'm using a Kenwood KAC-9103D amp, 500x1 @ 4ohms, 900x1 @ 2ohms, and 900+ x1 @1ohm (1800 W max power). My subs are Kicker VR8, dual voice coil, 4ohms, wired in parallel. Was it a mistake to go with 8 guage wiring? Should have I gone with 4 guage?
Should of definitely went with the 4 gauge. The effects are that the AMP will overheat, and will be underpowered.
definite you ought to enhance to 4gauge. a million/0 in case you may locate the money for it. it's going to make a distinction simply by fact the bigger the cord, the greater advantageous the present pass. i could recommend finding into doing the massive 3 besides. keep in mind, it takes potential to make potential. N2, yup a million/0 for 4 hundred watts. i recognize folk working a million/0 to 4 hundred watt SAX200.4s. unlike maximum folk, I constantly improve so why even purchase 4 gauge and then spend additional money on a million/0. And why shouldn't I be answering questions? I even have sufficient recognize how and am sensible sufficient to run greater advantageous issues than Pyle and twin, :D
Using smaller wires will cause your wire to heat . As the wire gets hot conductivity decreases giving less current to the amp. It seems like you are spending some money for the equipment i would use a 4 gauge to protect your investment. I have seen people car catching fire because of bad audio wiring
