another wiring question

i recently upgraded my speaker wire and noticed a big diff. in loudness so i was wondering if I changed my power/ground cables from 4 gauge to 1 gauge if I would notice a difference, its running at about 1000rms

thanks

1 gauge wire is huge... that seems excessive to me

Bigger wire less resistance.

Are we talking about the power and ground from your amps or from the alternator to battery?

I dont know how much louder it will get but Im sure you'll hear some sort of sound difference. Larger wires will help it run a bit more efficiently too. Give it a shot whats it gonna hurt?
