TheNewbie Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hey guys, so I was curious, what's the worst that will happen if i run a lower gauge wire both speaker wire, ground, power ect. Couldn't tell you the exact gauge it's a cheap pack from wal-mart my friends letting me use for now. I'd buy the wire i need but moms gettin a lil mad saying she won't be able to get me anything for x mas So im thinkin about just running my friends wire but it's a pretty low gauge, if i push it to hard will it damage the sub? Or will the wires just burn up. Thanks for any input Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

m&c caraudio Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I don't know why people say Walmart wire sucks its actually pretty good for your normal system. Id run it if I was on a tight budget the 6 gauge scoche wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxsonnyxz Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Is this set like the other cheap ones I've seen where the ground wire is smaller than the power wire? (^now that belongs in the BS thread..)

Id run it if I was on a tight budget the 6 gauge scoche wire. amp kits at walmart suck because its cheap shit. the 8 gauge there is like 10 gauge and the 4 gauge is like 6/8 gauge, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
