RAM_Designs Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 8 gauge speaker wire is not going to make a shred of difference Makes you look cool though.

n8ball2013 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I think its one of the biggest misconceptions in car audio. Of course i do have it done in my truck but its got a few more watts than 1200.

Kranny Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 you cant fit 1/0 in an aq1200. unless you use a distro block and change the size to 4 gauge. i have well over about 1500w in current draw on a stock electrical with the big 3 and my voltage is fine while driving, cant say the same for idle though . get 14 gauge speaker wire also.

osamio Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I think its one of the biggest misconceptions in car audio. Of course i do have it done in my truck but its got a few more watts than 1200. Upgrading from 12 to 8 helped me tremendously. Maybe i'm the minority.

MistahVee502 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yea...I was gonna do Big 3. Kranny, you suggest i use what gauge wire? It looked like the POS and GRND could be ran as 1/0 gauge but it could just be because im only viewing by picture.
