12 gauge amp wire?

[1997k1500Calvin]

I don't know why you would want to solicit opinions and sound advice and then do the exact opposite... but to each their own.

Current draw is also going to be related to the load as well as the crest factor of music being played on the system. The in-box impedance minima and maxima determine the load on the amp.

Also going to be a factor is how the gain is adjusted or (mal)adjusted, you may be pulling more power than the amp is designed for continuously if the gain is set too high and run into clipping.

It is also possible to pass more than the fuse will normally allow for short bursts, the same can be said of circuit breakers. The fuse is there to provide safety in the event of a short circuit condition.

Makes since thanks for the info

Go to amazon.com and search for amplifier installation kit.

If I were you I'd just save money and buy an amp wiring kit, then you know its specifically made for an amp. Don't do the twisting of 4 wires to makeup for thickness, I mean on my surround sound ive connected multiple speakers to one port but i used a connector to join them, even still if you dont want to risk having a fire burn your truck up don't do it, get the right amp wiring kit.

Quit with the solid wire ideas.
