FroznBeavrBALLs Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 are you talking about the wire your going to use inside the box and to the amp? i would say as big as you can. which i think most push terminals can take 8awg. thats just me.

Guest Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 12 gauge should be fine. no idea how much power you're throwing to them but thats what i use for 1200w and its been perfectly fine for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general_neo Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have tried this and all you need is a good quality 16 AWG wire for an L7 (Short length of 1-2 meter). Used wires from 22AWG to 8 AWG on L7. And tested the benefit of 16AWG(pure copper) vs 12 AWG (Branded) on TL. I can say for Pure Copper wire and not the aluminum mixed. I use 8 AWG for hi output setup especially if the wire quality cant be determined. This is for headroom sake only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
