CEC - #2 copper, RW90 insulation, 120 amps. #2 aluminium, RW90 insulation, 95 amps. he is not talking about Amplifiers. he is talking about amperes, the unit of measure that indicates how much electricity can flow through a wire. and it depends on the length of the wire, but 2 gauge wire will handle about 208 amps.
depends on how big the amps are
