Mobile amp wire size

[W5LZ]

Are you getting the feeling that you've been had? Well, yeah, but you gotta think about that a bit and figure out that you ain't exactly given enough information to really get a fair idea about what you ain't figured out, you know?
So, back up and start from scratch, sort of. What isn't working, what have you done, and where'd you goof. Howz'at for a start?
Nobody can help if you don't tell us what's gone one and so forth.

00 awg with a 50 amp fuse

Depends.... maul watts, swing watts, or bird watts?...Also do you have an antenna like the Predator 10K that boosts your audio by chance? All of this will determine the things needed.

Bird watts??? is that budgie or Emu. Slight difference of scale.

Wanting to know what is best size wire to run directly to battery for small amp in motorhome ? Would 20amp fuse be enough ? Any ideas where wire can be purchased already made up with ends for attaching to battery ? Any help would be appreciated.

You can buy 10' 10 gauge at advance auto or 8' 8 gauge. That is sufficient for a small amp. I've never had any problems with 10 gauge in 20 years. Put a vehicle protection fuse at the battery and your set. That's the short honest answer.

If you ain't mauling, your bawling

You ain't got a thing if you ain't got no swing

I used a stereo amplifier install kit from Monster audio for my TS 350. Paid about $100 at best buy for it.

And Audioshockwav my favorite quote is ...stop cryin' and start buyin' and with 4 watts stop tryin'.

The scary part is that I don't think you had to practice that. :tongue:

Don't motor homes have generators? Run the generator and get a plug in the wall amp, then run a big linear.
