TheNewbie Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Hey, well awhile back, when i first got into car audio i had bought a 20 dollar raptor pack or something at AutoZone, it came with speaker wire for the sub, to hook up the amp to the sub, heres a picture of the wire. I put it next to a screw so you can get a feel for the size. How important is this wire? Will this suffice or would the sub perform alot better with another type or wire. Any inputs grately appreciated. Thanks Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

donovanl12 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Looks like 16 guage? If your 400 watts or more, i'd get thicker wire like 14 or maybe 12 guage Quote
