252chevyboyz Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hey what's up guys? I saw this thread and figured it would be better to post here than start a new thread. Not tryin to hijack it though. I originally had 18ga speaker wire that came in a Q Power 4ga wiring kit rated for "1500w". It came with a 100A fuse which is close to the rated power but 18ga speaker wire rated for 1500w? Any way I decided to take the 18ga wire out and replace it with 12ga wire. My amp is kinda small its 600W x 2Ohm x 2 channel. Its also pushing two Q Power 12" new deluxe subs. Was this a wise choice or was 18ga better? P.S. I know its a small system but money has been tight and got the best that I could for the money - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kam311 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks boss I appreciate it But usually a thicker wire won't be a problem, you just don't want it too small.

Nope, just wire as you would normally Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.
