From How to upgrade the Big Three

"...- The gauge of wire you need depends on the total current draw of your audio system, and/or the current generating capacity of your alternator. Never use smaller cable that you used to power your amps; never use smaller cable than what already exists in your vehicle; never use smaller cable than the generating capacity of your alternator; never use smaller than 4 AWG (it's just not worth the time to use anything smaller); if in doubt, always use higher gauge cable than you think you need. If you look at the Power and Ground charts and your amplifier current draw corresponds to 2 AWG cable, use no smaller than 2 AWG cable, and use 1/0 if you can...."

You're welcome. I think your VZ SV8 would have a capable enough default big three and alternator unless you're planning something insane for your system eg: 10000W sub amp; my stock VX alternator puts out 80 amps providing enough to juice the single Yellowtop and run my system with the engine running, of course.

All the best. :beer chug:
