I'm looking for a place that sells 2 gauge Stinger wire....can't go 0 gauge cause the amp I need it for doesn't accept wire that big...and neither ebay nor www.darvex.com has 2 gauge Stinger [Frown] I'd like it to be STINGER 2 gauge as the rest of the wire is Stinger too...

Why would I want 4 gauge out to the sub amp if I'd be usign 0 gauge to the amp [Confused] And I was thinkin more along the lines of this distro block, http://www.darvex.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SHD2ANL&Product_Count=1 [Big Grin]

Use 0ga power wire, then distro block, then 4ga to your amps. Because...your amps dont accept 0ga direct. Am i missing something?

Yes you are.
My component amp accepts 4 gauge but my future sub amp accepts 2 gauge.

Still running 4 ga for a foot or so from the dist block will cause NO drop in voltage or current. You are using 0 ga because it has much lower resistance over the long run from front to back. Once it's in the back it doesn't matter. There is a chart somewhere which shows what I'm talking about... Lets see....

Thats an ok one

Not a fan of Hifonics...and if I had to buy some wire that isn't Stinger it'd be Knukonceptz [Wink]
