I have a 1x4 fatboy and run 8 gauge power wire even though all you guys told me I shouldnt but that's all I had. thats what the place that sold me the amp sent me to install, so $ was tight figured I could make it work 4 a while and I must say you were all right.
Tonight I was on the key pretty heavy for about an hour and after that time I smelled something burning....so I shut the amp off immediately and started feeling around. My 8 guage wire was like over cooked spagghetti..
So.........my question is this????
Since I have 8 guage wire running out the back of the amp (factory wire) and I plan to upgrade to 4 guage welding cable (only $1.50 ft) do I need to do away with the 8 guage factory wire and run the 4 guage all the way into the amp??? Is this something I can do with limited experience?? OR.......is it even necessary???
Thanks for any advice
Wrong Way
