Great answer thank you. It make sense now why I need to use a bigger wire. This radio has been tuned to do 115w PEP.

I would NOT run those MOSFETs that high; as this would definitely be in the 'snap, crackle, and pop' zone. You might consider and I would strongly suggest that you add a 12v fan to the radios heat sink and don't try to push that radio very hard at all . . .

Now one more question since I am on the same page as you. I can run the 10 gauge wire from the battery to the stock power lead and be alright?

Yeah; just keep it as short as you can and is practical.

Thank you for your help...I did round up a bit and the radio is running closer to 110w PEP in high power which I plan to run it in low power most of the time.

I have some 8 gauge wire already with a fuse and ready to go. I can use that couldn't I?
