like i posted earlyr i am running 3 Amps 1) is 25X4 watts 2) 100X2 watts 3)100X2 watts 4) thing is a 72 volt street charger what size of cable should i use. I am currently running four 8 gauge wire from my battery to the amps and i just want to run 1 wire to a block and then to amps. first choice was a 2 gauge input to four 4 gauge output would this wire choice be ok for this application.????????

Assuming the length of the run is less than 20 ft or so, 4 ga should really be adequate. You can always go 2 ga if you want.

Posting the total ammount of fusing on the amps and the length of the run would give us a much better idea though.

just run a 2 gauge, or if that's too thick run two 4 gauges, or eight 6 gauges, or something

yeah..........


And with only 12 ft, the 4 ga will be more than adequate
