For my amp, the MOST you need is 8 gauge wiring. you do not need 4 gauge for >500 watts of power.


Incorrect. The MINIMUM you need is 8 gauge...and that's if you have a class D amp.

Wire Current Max Amp Power Max Amp Power
Gauge Flow Class A/B (60%e) Class D (75%e)
0 awg 330 amps 2731 watts 3414 watts
1 awg 262 amps 2168 watts 2710 watts
2 awg 208 amps 1720 watts 2151 watts
3 awg 165 amps 1365 watts 1707 watts
4 awg 131 amps 1084 watts 1355 watts
5 awg 104 amps 860 watts 1075 watts
6 awg 82 amps 683 watts 853 watts
7 awg 65 amps 542 watts 677 watts
8 awg 52 amps 430 watts 537 watts
9 awg 41 amps 341 watts 427 watts
10 awg 33 amps 271 watts 339 watts
11 awg 26 amps 215 watts 269 watts
12 awg 21 amps 171 watts 213 watts
13 awg 16 amps 135 watts 169 watts
14 awg 13 amps 107 watts 134 watts

Like I said, if you want to risk burning your house down or damaging your equipment, go ahead and use smaller gauge wire.

Did you even put in a fuse when you wired everything up?

Just a website run by a professional amplifier repairer: http://www.bcae1.com/

Probably the most comprehensive car audio website on the net.
