masterbusa2 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Okay so I have a 15" power acoustik fubar, and I was wondering if I should go better than just el cheapo 14 gauge speaker wire and if so I was thinking Knu speaker wire but Idk which set of their wires are meant for high power? I think maybe the Karma SS 8 gauge, but idk if thats their best wire for speaker wire... hit me up guys lemme kno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUV bass Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Bigger wire won't hurt anything, unless it's too big to fit in your amp/sub connectors. A lot of guys use the karma ss 8ga for subwoofer wire, but some say it's a pain in the ass to strip. Any of the other knu speaker wire that is 12 or 10 ga would also work great.

pa-pa-platypus Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 i personally use 10 gauge..honestly in most situations you really dont need much bigger.. pain in the ass to fit in the terminals which really isnt worth it Quote This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned 151.6 with single 12 at 41 hz 153.2 with 2 12's at 43 hz power: dd m4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassMunky Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 not to thread jack, but if you double up wire what does it compare too? let say you ran 2 runs of 12 gauge to the terminal what does that equal too?

masterbusa2 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I always thought that it would like build up resistances or something I have just never done it, better to just get one run of cables, but I suppose it wouldnt hurt to try? lol xD I really dont know half as much as some of these guys on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEVY4X4BLAZER Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I believe its the same concept as using multiple runs of power wire from alts to battery banks. Which means LESS resiistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand your question correctly then the answer is a huge mess. Whether you use 8, 10 or 12 the gauge won't change anything if the wire has a good strand count. Making more that one run to the same terminals is just asking for a headache an unnecessary one at that. At the end of the day the lowest gauge I try and go is 10 gauge and I use Stinger HPM makes life simple because I am not fighting the sub to fit terminals especially when I need to twist multiple pieces together to drop the ohms.

Correct. Not necessary though in this situation, just a headache in the making. Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
