i know its a stupid question is there any ill effect of using a low guage wire on a amp that require 8 gauge?
ive done it before but im wonder if theres any ill effect in the long run?
using a 4ga lead for a 8 gauge opening... 4 ga is all i have..
**running a new amp with its own lead like fcm mandated

 

No, as long as you have the right fuse in there.

 

And make sure its as close to the battery terminal as possible; within 10 inches.

 

nope not at all.

 

considering your probably gonna have to trim the 4awg to fit into the 8awg opening, think of it as 4 gauge with room to spare...

 

alright thanks guys just making sure
wouldnt want any mishaps :D
