what size power wire

[impulsed_sv6]

hey guys im a bit stuck on my install, regarding what size power wire i will need for my amps
i will be powering
1x mrp-m1000 (1000wrms,1900wmax)
1x 600w 4 chan amp i have laying around

the main cable will run from teh battery approx 4-5 meters into a distrbution block into the boot then about 1m to the amp it self

could some recoment wat power size wire i should use

thru my reserch i found that
for mrp m 1000 i will want 2awg
and the 4 chan 8gauge
tho this is running 2 power cables from the batter ( is that safe, will it interfer with each other)


and i would also like to introduce a 4 farrad cap into my system

thanks in advance

use the biggest ones you can

Run one big power cable down to distribution block and then split them up. I would run 0-gauge to disto-block then 0-gauge to mono and 4-gauge to 4-channel amp, overkill probably but will basically never need upgrading. Also 2-gauge is damn hard to get.

Also don't waste money on cap, get a bigger battery if you want to. Also look into the BIG-3 upgrade.

I'd use 0g to a distro block, then the biggest cables you can to each of the amps.
You don't need a cap either...

hmm foound a nice dist block that sound stream does looks mine and it also grounds aswell

2x 0 awg for ground and batt +
and 8x 4awg for the outlets +/-

Are you sure it does power and ground? Or can be used for power or ground? Got a pic? Usually these distro block are near solid metal so I can't see how it could do both.

Woah, thats the first I've ever seen of them. I don't understand though...the little bit on the end with the terminals would be the only bit that actually does anything. Have they just attached an empty case with some pretty lights to the rest of it?

Also, in the specs it says "power/ground inputs: 1". Does that mean 1 input total, or is it 1 power and 1 ground as you thought before?
What are they asking for them? Keep in mind that its a $10 part most people would use

im gonna assume it has same function as 2 distro blocks that have a gorund side and a power side the looks clean and fancy worth looking into a price would make my system look pretty fancy and would math the blue paint job of car and blue trims in boot install

Have a look here, it shows you what it does. http://www.soundstream.com/manuals/2...er%20Plant.pdf

Yes it has all the inputs and all the outputs in one.
