  • What size(guage) wiring do I use?

    Posted by admin on January 1st, 2010 and filed under perfect car audio system | 2 Comments »

    When I am replacing:
    1. The big 3 (batt., alt., ground wires)
    2. From batt to 1200 watt rms amplifier, hifonics brutus BXI1210D
    3. from amp to subs, (2) 600 watt rms subwoofers, hifonics brutus BRZ12SQD4’s
    4. Amp ground wire
    5. any other wiring I missed for a car audio system

    This is my first car audio system, I have everything ready, baught, everything is compatible, and I have my enclosure properly constructed tuned to 35hz and perfect airspace inside for some serious spl boomin bass that I want. All I need to do now is go to the store and buy me some wiring so I can start getting this all together. thanks

    a 4 gauge wiring kit for the amplifier will be fine. anytime i do the big three i use 0 gauge wire just so i don’t have to redo it if i decide to go to a larger amplifier later on.

      I would personally would buy the biggest gauge possible. This eliminates the job of rewire if decide to upgrade or add to the system. If your really a geek with toys in the car I would buy the biggest custom HO alternator you can afford. This eliminates electrical system failures if you upgrade or add to the sound system. A fuse block to service all the toys also would be safe instead of inline fuses everywhere.
