Rockford fosgate

[smoke3]

ok i have a 800.2 amp its not the brand new ones it the one before that the punch series.

im trying to do a clean install but i have a problem

i have 4 guage wire and i can get the wire into the tiny ass whole that the amp has for a power or ground. speaker wire fits there nicely lol what can i use to convert the 4 guage to fit in there with out using one strand to go into the amp.

i had this same problem with 8 guage wiring



second proble do anyone know where i can get cap holders from

thanks

Cut the wire down to size. Heat shrink around it a little so it's clean.

[smoke3]

if i got a 4 guage done to the size of a 6 guage whats the sense of having 4 guage wiring

[Bumpin Expo]

whats the sence of having 4 guage wire if u cant use it?

[smoke3]

yeah my point exactly

[93ex]

why would you wire with 4 guage if your amp doesnt accpet 4 guage?

at ANY rate, you can get a distribution block that has like 4-6 or 4-8 or whatever

if it an older seires it shoud have dual 8 awg in 2 for power and 2 for ground use a dist box and run two 8awg to it and its the same as 4awg

i have fosgate amps also ...... you just have to twist the wire really tight.... i dont get why there bigger amps use two 8 gauges wires why not just 4 gauge ?

because fosgate is the ghey and there stuff sucks :D

[TBSpyder]

I'll stick with my original suggestion, it's cheap and easy....won't make a difference. I do it often. There's also a little trick that you can do, heat shrink the tip of the wire completley, screw a small screw into the end of it, leaving about 1/4-1/2" exposed, grind or cut the head off and you just made a reducer.

Yeah why does rockford make 2 8 guage in???

And tim Rockfords old shit was good. The new shit is the ghey

[TIM TIM TIM]

yes but stereo stuff only works good for so long.. then it just gets out dated and worn out

Word. Use the distribution block. That's what I had to do, works good.

one is for power wire and the other is suppose to goto a cap/b2nd battery

[smoke3]

ok i have my cap wired

battery cap amp


should it be battery amp cap
rockford said one thing and the my cap company said another

[TBSpyder]

I'd do it however RF recommends. The effectiveness of a cap is questionable anyways....so I doubt how you wire it will make much of a difference.

so your saying 1 of the 2 8 gauge is for a cap. if so witch 1 ? thanks

[Bumpin Expo]

im sure it dont matter lol

[TIM TIM TIM]

im pretty sure the cap is supposed to be hooked up before the amp.... what good would having the cap after the amp?

[smoke3]

thanks alot TBSpyder i did that thing with the screw it worked perfect

as for the cap im leaving mine how it is.
