Amp wire

[Netherland24 0]

well first i have a 1200 watts concept amp. i have a 2 gauge wiring to run but i am afried that it is too large for the entrence of the amp? would 4 gauge be enough? or just try my best to get the 2 gauge in?

4ga is fine for 1200w but you can just trim the 2 down to get it to fit, or you could get a reducer

by any chance could u give me a shove to find a reducer? i might just trimb i want to see the cleaner look. and what kinda inline fuse would i need too? i have a 130amp alternator.

theres a reducer: http://www.cardomain.com/item/LITRA14

100a-120a fuse is fine i think

alright thanks acidburn, do u suggest i get that reducer or just trim away its not athat much just alittle.

Its your preference. Either is fine.

[Acidburn 10]

the reducer is a lot cleaner but if you dont want to spend the $ then its really no big deal

[Netherland24 0]

cleaner like looking? or better power flow?

[Acidburn 10]

appearance wise

OOPS forgot to say how do u cut wire that thick?

[Acidburn 10]

i use a combination of a utility knife and sheet metal sheers

last question can i use 1 foot for 0/1 gauge from the battery to the fuse. then go all the way 2 gauge?

I used pruners to cut my 1/0 gauge, worked like a charm!

I would go all the way with the 1/0, using 1 foot of it will be really pointless.

i have only 13 feet of 0/1 and 15 of 2 gauge and i need 16 17 for the battery to amp

so will just use 1 foot of 0/1 and then go the 15 with teh 2 gauge.
