Setting 1300W RMS AMP

RE: Setting 1300W RMS AMP
Well, the 500w is probably the amps ball park. Many audio companies highly overrate their products to do one thing, sell! Most times they will rate those things until they literally fry or explode or whatever happens. Then they will say it can handle up to that.

He won't need 0 gauge. 8 is ok for 500 watts, 6 gauge would be a good idea but I don't think they sell that and 4 would be over kill, but good to have if 500 watts is a low-ball estimate.
Ohms Law: P = IV so: 500 = I x 14 so I = 500/14 = about 36 amps.
Here are gauge ratings:
Gauge:Load(amps)
0 : 150
1 : 119
2 : 94
3 : 75
4 : 60
5 : 47
6 : 37
7 : 30
8 : 24
9 : 19
10 : 15
11 : 12
12 : 9.3
