could I use 6awg wire how does wire connect inside?

It's recommended for 4 AWG & 8 AWG. 6 AWG is right in the middle so it shouldn't be an issue. One side should connect to the battery and the other side should connect to the power on the amp. All you have to do is unscrew the end caps, put your wires in and tighten down the allen bolts on both sides. THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A FUSE. So you'll need to buy an AGU fuse to complete the connection 40, 60, 80, or 100 depending on your amp. The fuse is placed in the center of the holder. Hope this helps.

I used it with a 4awg.it will work with a 6awg also it has hex screws that hold the wire in place at each end..Good product at a great price

It's about 1/2" wide and tall and about 3/4" deep. You could probably twist two wires together and insert into one hole depending on the wire gauge. Wego also makes 3 & 5 wire connectors. Our robotics club uses all of their connectors. Never had a failure.

You will have to connect 3 wires together for each side (hot and neutral), the two that come into the box, and the one from the outlet you are installing. Use an appropriate sized wire nut for this. When you look at the package for the wire nuts, they indicate the different capacity for the wire sizes, most residential wiring is 14 gauge, but 12 gauge is sometimes used.

I used 14 gauge, and it fits with plenty of room. Appears as if 12 gauge will work too. The trick is to have just enough wire coming out and over the edge to make a proper connection. Works like a charm.

I didn't use the connectors. I work with wire almost every single day, and didn't see the need for them. I ran 14 awg, stripped the wire and twisted it with my fingers and put them in. Had no issues.

4awg wire will work fine, no need to replace with 8awg. I have 4awg wire ran to this same amp accompanied by a JL 10" sub and it supplies nice, clean power

You will need push on wire connectors installed on your wire... they are flat metal connectors... here is an example from Amazon what you need: http://www.amazon.com/Insulated-Female-Terminal-Connector-Insullated/dp/B00GGTJA78/ref=sr_1_5?s=industrial&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1398623000&sr;=1-5&keywords;=push+connectorAlso, be aware that this disconnects both wires - so you need 4 connectors!

Should work perfectly fine with 2 gauge wire. They were a little tight with monster 0 gauge, which is a little oversized, but the allen bolts go all the way inside which should 2 gauge wire with no issues.

Quite well. I got mine last summer while working on a boat restoration. Most of the wiring is 16 thru 10 gauge and it worked great. Don't think it will work on 4 or 6 gauge. For most wiring, you won't know how you lived without it!

You should be able to use just about any wire with the same gauge as the ones attached to the sensors, since the current going through is minimal and overheating is not an issue...

I know the instructions say to only use the cables provided, but you need to buy longer wires. The longer wires need to be a larger gauge. There is a guide chart you can go by. Do a search for "12 volt wire gauge vs amps" and you'll find a chart on an offroaders website. Example: For 200 amps, a 10 foot wire should be 6 gauge. The two foot wires included are 12AWG because they are only 2 feet long.

i just used 14 gauge electric wiring. it worked fine. the connections could take 12 gauge wire.

The maximum these plugs accept is 8AWG, but they suggest 10AWG. I used 12AWG because that was the wire already in the house. It worked great and I am sure smaller wire would work fine. The connection mechanism is capable of squeezing any wire larger than the "teeth" very securely.

The quick-connect pigtail (3 wires) supplied with this unit are 18 AWG, so wiring that size or larger should suffice (however, it would probably be prudent to check your local electrical codes). I hooked mine up to the same size wiring they used in the rest of my house and that worked fine (better for the wire to be too large than too small!). Here's what the wires attach to: Black Connected to live (L) side of AC line White Connected to neutral (N) side of AC line Red Connected to interconnect lines (red wires) of other units in a multiple-station set-up (if you connect units together with the red wire, if one goes off, it'll tell the others to sound off, too).

You must have one of the older models. Call the company and they will send you a copper strip that you can place inside. The six packs will work then. Good Luck!

I use my existing in wall wire setup. Wires provided are not graded for in wall use, FYI.

It can handle up to 6 AWG, the wire size you use will depend on the length of the wire run but you should be fine with 8 AWG. My panels came with mc4 cables so I bought the 10 AWG equivalent mc4 cable and ran that which made for a nice clean install
