Default Re: Amp Wiring Feed

If you run 8 gauge and its not enough the wire will get hot potentially melt or best case scenario wont be able to carry needed current and your amp will over heat. Current is lost as it travels through the length of a wire. The "fatter" a wire the less current is lost. Bigger wire also gives you more safety net in case of dropped voltage which also causes heat.
