How many watts can a 8 gauge amp cable handle?

What's the most power my 10-gauge power cable to my amp can handle?

  • Rockford Fosgate

  • Answer:

    It depends on the length (distance from battery to amp terminal). 10-gauge can deliver a maximum of about 30A for a distance of 25' and perhaps as much as 100A at 10' or less. Assuming an amp operating at approximately 60% efficiency, you could safely use 10-gauge for the longer distance for up to about 200 watts.
