    Too much.
    There was a chart at one time on here. I've been running my set up with zero issues. Changed wiring because I switched to components. However:

    https://www.crutchfield.com/S-0nV5RI9XNHd/learn/learningcenter/car/cable_gauge_chart.html

    https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/1005-wirefuse-guide/

    18 gauge: ~5.5 amperes

    8 ohms - <240 watts

    6 ohms - <180 watts

    4 ohms - <120 watts

    3 ohms - <90 watts

    2 ohms - <60 watts

    1 ohm - <30 watts

    How did you route this monster? One passenger side one driver's side?

    Nope, all through the passenger side. Went under the dash, behind the kick panel and under the door sill. Definitely tight, but manageable

    Did you consider running the cable under the centre console? I'm about to install the same custom cable to my amps mounted on the rear panel.

    I did think about that as an option and may try to do that at some point. The issue I see with that is how tight the center console is to the floor. I wouldnt want it to get pinched or cause a hump

    Power on one side and
    I considered it for a minute but could not find an accptable way to neatly go through the storage compartments. The cable raceways under the door sills are perfect. Run power down one side and Audio down the other.

    Anyone done RAAM mat on the entire floor? I did the rear wall and doors and it made a significant difference. Debating going all out. 3rd gen

    I did second skin in my doors and back wall. Still planning on doing the floor and roof. Sound deadner is always good unless you want to shave weight.

    Yea, I have read a million threads on here about sound deadening. RAAM was a little pricey but east to work with for a novice.

    That's why I did the second skin, easiest I've ever worked with. And I'm in Arizona and they make it here.
