I have decided to add two amps to my new boat. One for existing speakers and one to power a sub that I will add to console.
I found a set of wires under the console that are not connected, but have a white clip attached to them.
In an effort to try not to run power wires from the battery over, I’m wondering if those wires would be sufficient. They look to be a 10-12 gauge stranded wire.
Plan is to connect to a distribution block and then branch to amps from there. Of course fuses will be added to everything.
One amp is a 4 channel and supplies 100w per channel. Sub amp is 250w total. I am a little concerned about amp draw as most amps are not efficient. Anyone used these wires in the past for amps? I have been told that those wires are there for the sport arch but I wanted to ask first.
Running power wires from battery to console seems like a steep task with the amount of covers/shields/plates that would have to be removed.
Thanks in advance!
