Re: amp wire guage

Depends on the amp, can you be more specific?

(note: the remote wire can be small, the other two are much more important)

Re: amp wire guage

4-AWG for power and ground. with a 60 amp fuse mounted as close to the battery as possible!

speaker wire... I would run 12 gauge

again the remote isnt crucial... it is a very small signal...
