would using 8gauge do any good? i know youre supposed to 4gauge, and i have some, just those spade connectors for 4gauge are ****ing expensive. i mean, my lights dont dim too too bad so ide figure 8guage would help right?

incase you need to know my system is 2 12 alpine type E's and a 700watt apline amp.

 

4 gauge or bigger...no less.

 

4Awg, going with 8 is only replacing what you already have.

Also you want Ring terminals, not spades and theyre really not expensive at all.

 

well, the ones that are like square with a hole in the middle right? i dont know what theyre called lol i guess ring terminals. the only place ive found them around here is at tweeter and theyre $20 for a pack of 4 and they only sell packs of 4. which sucks haha

 

anyone have an estimate on the total ft of wire needed for a 5th gen? i have been looking for this but couldnt find it..

 

1 700 watt amp? you really shouldnt need to do the big three. it would help, but it really probably isn't nessicary..

 

well my lights flicker when the bass hits so thats why i want to do it. everyone seems to thinks 700watts isnt much, but its deffinatly enough to make my mirrors useless and lights flicker. (and to you know-it-alls that are reading, please dont try to argue this...it happens to me every day/night)

 

I'll be completing my big 3 upgrade shortly all i have left to do is upgrade the alternator B+ wire. Ill be adding 0 gauge :O. Since its alread run around my whole car anyway lol

 

About how many feet of wiring did you use? I plan on doing this myself as I got a new amp installed.

 

im going to do this as well with 2/0 gauge

 

I used 10 feet of 1/0, but it was a QR25DE.
