4Au would probably be better but still the 6 should be plenty to get over half power.. idk if you have 290amps you shouldnt have any problems.. as long as you're swinging forward and not backwards i wouldnt worry about it
what do you mean swinging backwards and how can i tell? the amp has 8 gauge wire comming out of it so i figured 6 would be fine
on your watt meter.. as long as your watts increase when you talk and not decrease i wouldnt sweat it.

thank you everyone for your help the info you all provided was awsome. the few last threads helped alot. Iwent back through my system when i got home and found the lug that reduces the 6 gauge wire to the linears 8 gauge wire loose. tightened the lug all is good now. like i said in the beguning bean running bearfoot radio for years new to the amps. ALWAYS LEARNING
Also i drove past a rig the other day pushing some power and when he drove by talking it made the relays in the amp chatter will that hurt anything in radio or amp and if so how do i keap this from happining

if you think the amp is good, it must be amplifying something its being given.
a 15 Mhz, 50 dollar oscilloscope from ebay is a very handy tool to have, if you had one you would be able to see straight away where the problem is
if you not overmodulating, expect about 50% of what the amp says it can do, their are NO advertising laws the amplifyer builders go by, they basically put what ever they wish.
if you are overmodulating you can prob get 750 watts from a 400 watt amp.
