Wiring Question
Well my friend bought a couple of 10's from me and I told him he just needed an amp and the wiring kit for it. I went over to install it and he had got a 300 watt amp and a 1400 watt max amp wiring kit with a 5 g power wire and a 100 amp inline fuse. My question is this going to be a problem or just overkill?

Re: Wiring Question
That fuse is too big... the fuse is only there to keep the wire from shorting out, heating up and making a car fire, and that wire should probably have a 60 amp fuse. Otherwise, the bigger the wire the better. He could have 1/0 gauge wire, and it would be fine. He can upgrade to better amps later on without having to worry about doing the wiring over again.

Re: Wiring Question
What's a 5 g wire system? The wire sizes I've only seen are even numbers until you get past 2gauge.
