Narh u will be ok with 4 gauge then split but stay at 4 gauge.
O/2gauge is a bit silly in a corsa cos it's two thick to run under the trim.

Plenty of room to run it as long as you use the drivers side as the cars loom to the rear lights/wiper ect is on the passenger side.

how do u get 4 guage into the amp tho Ritchie. I ran 4 guage down the car cos 8 obviously wasnt enough anymore but then when i got it to the boot split it 2 8 guage for ma two amps.
Pretty sure 4 guage wudnt hav gone in and ma local Ice Shop (Audio Island) assured me it would be fine 4 down the car and 8 from the boot to the amps

The recommended input size for my amp is 4 gauge! And my amp is 1200wRMS@1 ohm.
I hardly see any amps over 1000wRMS that use an 8 gauge input.

DC, please tell me you dont use Audio (rip off) island. In the one in brigg theres only one guy that really knows his stuff (he goes between the grimsby and brigg one) but thats it. They charge far too much for most stuff
