Default Wondering about this wiring

Can I email someone a pic to post for me ??

Can someone Tell me what you think...I think it looks fine ,but I wonder if the wire is a low enough gauge...it looks really thin to me. I just had this Diamond D5 amp put in and it reccomends min 16 gauge wire...man it looks really thin......can someone tell if this wire looks ok ? I have stock wire running to the doors...is that going to be a problem ? If it's too small will it burn up my amp ? They had my car along time, and I was very picky about the install, but didn't really see how thin the wire was running from the amp to the back of the HU where it connects with the stock wiring.


I need someone to host a pic for me please, or just post it up here for me.

thanks Tim

that is absolutely rediculous in a vette to use the stock wiring its beyond easy to run new wiring this is just stupid on ur installers part, its not gonna burn up the amp but it will hinder performance

I will probally end up running new wire my self or go back to my intaller of the HU. I'm not a real happy camper right now.... my system sounds pretty good IMO..... glad to hear the amp won't suffer from having small wire....

thanks for hosting the pics

How hard is it to remove the door panels ?

thx Tim

i would seperate those wires it should eliminate ur alt whine id think

running wires in the doors is beyond easy, a plastic panel pops off under the dash on each side and its just an open boot to run wires in
