corey0928 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 they're the same thing o.O thats what i was saying unless one is true size and ones undersized or unless ones true size and ones oversized Wouldnt make any difference. 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 No but he would have to use different brands. Thought you meant power 10 gauge was going to be bigger than speaker 10 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacy2k Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 idk how credible the guy in EXO's video is. he says he has 147.9 and hopes to get a 150 by just switching to a slightly different wire (and it being smaller at that) then he says 149.9 and "now i cant get over 147.9" ok, so what happened for him to have that loss? and really? a 2.7 db gain by switching to smaller wire? for all we know, one test was done sealed up, then they opened the door to break 150.

ChillMasterWill Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 more current will flow through bigger gauge wire to your subs from your amp so it makes sense to use power wire William - Metter,Ga.

Tarball Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Consider thicker wirer will have less resistance. Thicker wire may be more appropriate when the circuit has low impeadence. The higher the impeadence of the circuit the less neccessary thicker wire will become, however, in a higher impeadence circuit the thicker wire shouldnt cause any negative effects assuming we are compairing like wire to like wire. In short, dropping the ohm rating and running lots of power will require thicker cabling to have a minimal impeadence rise from the wire itself (less resistance in the circuit wiring). Just woke up so I hope that makes sense.

pimpnFosgates Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Doesn't EXO have a vid of one of his friends getting a higher number on the TERMLAB after switching from 8 gauge to 10 gauge? how? that doesn't make any sense what so ever? the 8 gauge kept falling out of the terminals so it didnt give an accurate score. the 10 fit snug so gave all the power to the subs Lucky Durango Sony hu 4 croosfire 6.5mids crossfire 600.1 mono amp American bass 1280.4 mids and highs amp aq hdc3 12 2.4 cube net box, tuned to 34 and 14.4 inches of port per cube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA98hoe Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 There's a chart on the forum tell you wattage per gauge size.. when you start running 5k plus its a must... for example when i clamped my amps its was close to 80amps and over a 100v... do you think some dinky 12g wire would be sufficient no way I use 8g and would use bigger if it would fit... it all goes back to ohms law people.... same reasoning we use 0g for power wire.
