Say that you amplifier draws around 400 amps DC, would you need 4/0 wire for pos. and neg. power cable??
And if your output was say 75 volts and 51 amps, then would you need at least 8 AWG speaker leads??
Now my true question is this, what do you think would happen if you ran 4 awg power cables and 16 awg speaker leads for this amplifier??
Do you think that your output on this amplifier would decrease??
Because as an electrician I know that wire ampacity ratings are highly under rated. But in a house that could lead to fires and the such. But what would that do to a car stereo????
I was just wondering??

The first thing that comes to my mind is that you will have a voltage drop and a loss becuase of it. Here is a couple of calculators to help you figure out how much that could be Click Here
