    I have 35mm2 welding cables on my welder leads and that is the best use for them. I have about 0.25mm2 cable on the amp gauge on my lathe. That is all I would use, even in a car. I learnt many years ago that running full current thru an amp meter is a potential disaster. It was not my disaster fortunately. $20 from EBay will give you a digital Amp Volt meter. I refuse to use any other sort.

    The 35mm was for the old amp... was a hungry bugger, an old school Jaycar 4x100w I had it running 2ch's for the mains and 2ch's were bridged to the 12" sub(330wrms).
    I dont really need it anymore as I upgraded to an Alpine 5ch D class amp, 4awg would be fine and the 4x100 was very much overkill in a single cab ute

    .25mm2 cable would melt on my amp, you only got 14volts at best any voltage drop can dramatically decrease the clean output... often at the cost of "headroom" not so good for SQ.

    Oops. I misread. I saw Amp Gauge. My bad.

    Yes you do need quite a bit of power for a ute. Sadly the new head unit I bought does not work. It will have to go back. The amp works great with the old head unit tho. I just can't use the SD card. I will have to start using DVD's for mp3 music. One of the reasons for the new unit was that it plays Flac, apparently.

    On topic I watched a video today, put out by ChrisB257 about inserting nutserts if anyone was interested. It included a home made tool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEVL6vqisbw
