As a manufacturer, Zapco has taken great pains to produce a product that will
give you many years of superior performance and reliability. However , cer-
tain basic rules need to be followed if you want to achieve the products po-
tenal in your vehicle.
It takes power to make power. The power and ground wire is crical to your
system. If the wire gauge is too small your amp will never produce its rated
power. Even worse...Straining to produce power from insucient current
can over-tax the power supply of your amp and cause amp failure.
See the chart below
Be Safe: Add up the fuse recommendaons of all the amps in your system.
Then see how long a run you will have from the baery to the ampliers .
Now locate the wire gauge on the chart above.
i.e. If your amp needs an 80A fuse and you’re your wire run will be 16 long
you will need to use 2 gauge wire or you will lose performance and possibly
damage your new amplier.
Ground Maers just as much as power. Electricity travels in a circuit. The
ground wire needs to be the same size as the power wire or your current (and
power) will be reduced. A weak ground connecon will also limit current
ow. You need a good solid ground connecon to the vehicle frame. Re-
member: A body panel is not a frame. Many metal body panels never even
make contact with the frame. Make sure you have a solid ground to the
frame, to guaranty you get full performance from your system.
