tonedeaf Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Getting through molexs can be a bitch. Best way is to just drill holes into it where there aren't any stock wires attatched. I am running quite a decent amount of power through to my speakers, so I just feel safer with 12-14 guage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittlesRgood Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 http://www.bcae1.com/wire.htm thats a great reference page but thats really all taking about using wire on the DC side. AC power is much different. if that chart applied to AC then i would need 0awg speaker wire.

Been ordering from darvex, just wasn't sure if there was cheaper/better out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickass audio Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I bought my wire at a local shop that i know the guy very well. He hooked me up on 100 feet of 14 gauge wire for $80. And to matt, not to troll this thread but i had a hell of a time getting that molex connector separated so i just quit and went the harder way to the back of my radios harness. I got the connector separated from my pillar but couldn't disconnect it so i could try to grind anything away or sneak it around the grommet. Id like to blame GM for not making it easy to mod things. haha.
