It’s for an alpine 400 watt amp. I think the fuse is 75 amps, So i think i will need a 4G… really wish I could use 8, but I don’t think I can. Used is OK and preferred. Does not need to be very long… ---

for 400w you should be able to use 8ga efficiently. EITHER WAY, you can buy quality stuff very inexpensively (relatively) online. i wouldn’t use 8ga for 1500w, maybe not even 4ga, but for 400w (rms or peak) you should be fine. also depends how long the cable is, but you’d know the math better than i would ---

I have ~15’ of 4 guage, about 13’ uncut with 100 amp fuse and ground wire as well if your interested, $20. It might need a new fuse holder. ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/964door151.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/964door151.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/964door152.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/964door152.jpg) ---

If I can run 8GA i would much rather do that. If not I will pick this up from you. THX! Most 8GA kits come w/ a 60 AMP fuse. However, I think this particular amp uses a 75AMP fuse. I’ll check the current draw when I get home… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-amp-install-kit-4g/65834.md?page=2)
