So I'm good with 8ga? I figured that if the manual said it's good I'd be fine, but the demo amp in Best Buy used 4ga, that's why I asked.
Thanks for the assurance on the alternator issue...
The only reason I asked that is because I was hearing some funny noises from that area and my sister's alternator was making some funny noises until it shot all of the bearings out of the back of it, resulting in a fused solid alternator and a belt catching fire in her car. (yeah that's a funny enough story to be posted in the pits!... see "Rusty (no-longer) Trusty Buick".
I guess my noises are timing belt equipment related, and as soon as I get money I'm buying the kit from parts dinosaur.
