125 amps is what the cable can handle over 18-19 feet, so you are ok there. | |

Upgrading the fuse would that not only be needed if the fuse kept on blowning, due to to much current flowing throw. I thought 4 gauge was fine over that distance. You stated around 125 amps, is the current draw or the fuse size. | |

If its not blowing a 60 amp fuse, your amp is not performing near its stated output. And the reason for 4 awg terminals is because you should run the 1/0 awg to a distribution block, then 4awg from there to the amp. The shorter the cable the more current it can deliver. | |

Thought it would be pretty straight forward doing the other two(never knew the alternator had a ground on the vauxhalls?). Yet again if im stuck i could always ask my vauxhall machanic friend :D Surley if the current draw was exceeding the fuse rating it would blow. Therefore i cant be drawing that much current do justify the power cable upgrade to 2 gauge or 0. The amp has 4 awg input terminals as well. | |

Anybody done this on the Corsa C and does it improve the electrical system by much. I get slight light dimming with bass notes, my amp has 3x40amp fuses, but under the bonnet i am using a 60 amp AGU fuse and 4 awg cable from the amp to the battery. I have upgraded the battery (-) to chassis with some 4 gauge but just need the other 2 done. Is it difficult and anybody got any guides etc on how to do them. |
