How to hook up the wiring on the crunch 520.5 need to know the gage for power

Hello,

• I would go with some good 8 gauge. More than that for this amp would be overkill and a waste. Many people thing thicker wire is better but that is not the case. To thick of wire to the power feed can draw to much power and send the amp into protect mode. Also to thick of wire with an insufficient amount of power can actual hamper the amps true abilities.
• Use stranded copper wire not solid copper wire for the best results of conductivity.
• Make sure to run a 50 amp fuse inline with the power wire right off the battery. Amps surge and it is far easier to replace a $1 fuse than components inside your amp.
• Your ground is best served running to a bolt in the floorboard. Using the same size, style and quality as your power wire is recommended.
• Your remote wire will connect to the remote wire running from the back of your deck. The remote wire enables your amp to shut off when your deck is shut off. A simple 16 gauge stranded copper wire will suffice for the remote wire.
• I recommend hooking the speakers up using one speaker per channel. I don't bridge amps really. If you want more power then buy a bigger amp.
• The AV cords will go from your deck to your amp right to right and left to left.
• That's the way to wire your amp.
