amritaka2qw32 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Well originally I was going to run 10 gauge speaker wire, but then I got to thinking to use 10 gauge power wire, today when I went to my friends house I went and grabbed 10 gauge since he doesn't have 8 gauge but the way I saw how the 10 fit in those terminals it looked like a 8 gauge will fit in thier nice with no problems. So most likely im going to run 8 gauge. 1997 Eagle Talon- going on a build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJunkie Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 10 gauge is perfectly fine, unless you're running 30kw or something outrageous. 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

Emmet Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yea, the wire that I was originally going to use was 10 gauge stinger speaker wire, but just now I went on woofersect.com and I saw they had the 10 gauge power and the 8 gauge, it says on the description for 8 gauge strand count for both pro and the hyper flex is 665, while the 10 gauge for only the pro stinger is also 665. And while the speaker wire goes for the 10 gauge it doesn't tell at all the strand count, but from the picture I saw that they showed on the website I might just go ahead and run the 8 gauge power wire for my subs Dont worry about strand count, it doesnt make a difference apart from making the wire more flexible. i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah..

Wire is wire so your tellin me there would be no difference between true 10ga and undersized 10ga thats more like 12-14ga? i understand to a point there wouldn't but i would think after so much power it would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
