[QUOTE="imsickofweed, post: 8512145, member: 668971"] I got my Escape gutted and Im still dynamatting, but will be starting to run wires and cables and what not. Should I run a thicker than factory +12vdc wire to the head unit? If so what gauge would it need? I would think 15amp is the most it would draw and that requires a 14ga wire, maybe go 12ga for funsies? Will it help anything? What about running a dedicated ground as well? Should I run a dedicated ground to my amp or is grounding to the seat bolt fine? The amp is 900w rms total on 5 channels. [/QUOTE]
