Thanks, that is great timing, I just setup all the wire's last night, and was getting ready to connect them tonight after work. Its good verification for me.

I am useing 12 awg, for about 24 feet (from battery to trunk) that should be ok right ?.

Also I want to connect my TS from the OPUS, can i do that ? if so how?
Its the 150W OPUS.

thanks a lot

i wouldn't run any less than 10 gauge at that length with the opus 150. I had problems until i ran 8awg to my opus 90w i could have run 10-12 for the 90w.
