Power Wire guage Rockford Fosgate PS-8
For those using this sub, what is the largest wire accepted by the PS-8 power plug that you have used? This is my first car audio install. I got a bunch of kit delivered while I'm away for work and was planning to install when I get back. I thought I had ordered everything I needed, but I had seen mixed answers online about the power wire size.
I had planned to run larger power to the back in case I upgrade down the line, so grabbed a 4awg wiring kit. The PS-8 Owners Manual says the power plug accepts up to 4AWG power wire. The bot on the website says 14 awg max size for power wire. Crutchfield says it comes with a 12 awg kit. The tech on the phone wouldn't give me a straight forward answer and just kept insisting I use the wire with the kit. He told me to "just run whatever you want and use a distribution block and the power wire we include." issue is I was going to use that including amp wiring kit for the Kicker key 200.4 in installing behind the dash. I was going to run both off the battery and mount the sub behind the rear seat. I didn't want to run power back then all the way back up front to the amp. Now I'm thinking I'm going to have to get a separate fuse and wire to this sub. I can't find any fused distribution blocks with a 4awg input that will accept a 12 or 14 awg output. What I thought was going to be straightforward with minimal wiring is getting annoying before I even start.
