stereo amp question

[daves bronco]

>>>>> for amp installs, I would suggest getting 4 gauge welding wire run to a distribution block in the cab ......the welding cable is much cheaper & mutli strand like the fancy colored high dollar dedicated car stereo stuff... the 4 gauge will be more than enough for 99.9% of early bronco owners ,I haven't needed anything bigger since the mega car stereo days back in the late 80's/early 90's... for the ground I ran 4 guage from the battery to the frame then a short piece from the distribution block to the frame.............

I dont know much about welding wire, but you dont need 4 gauge. car stereo wire is multiple stands of small wire to keep eddy currents down, it is more money, because it is coated in silver sometimes, which is the best conductor.
