    Hey - I am about to swap out an amp and notice the wire size coming from my INfinity component speakers (amp and speakers installed through Best Buy). I know in my home audio equipment that wire size makes a big difference. Not sure in my truck. Take a look at this wire size and tell me if I should think of upgrading the wires when I swap out the amp (of course it will at least double the project time:mad:)

    That top wire is ground. Both the ground and power are Monster 4 gauge. They are only about a year old. (the very top wire - Blue - is remote power. The red power is not visible in this shot)

    Toytec ultimate lift kit, light racing UCAs, ARB bumper and full skid plates underneath. Looking into redoing the suspension and maybe repainting the ol' Taco.
    I concur, everything appears as it should.
