Get some nice OFC 8 gauge. Little overkill never hurt anyone.

I actually just ordered some Knu 8 gauge ofc to run to my Fi Q12 off of a Crescendo BC2000d. The max the Crescendo can take is 8 gauge, so that's what I'd go with.

x2. Knu 8ga is a little bigger than the standard 8ga because it's great cabling. Do your best to not have to strip off any copper to get it to fit lol. Great wire!

Haha I know the drill! I got Kolossus 0 gauge a little bit ago and it barely fit into the 0 gauge terminals on my amp!

Knu 1/0 Kolossus Fleks Kable.. love it! It fit better there than it did in the 1/0 ring terminals!

i know some people on the TL have had better luck with 10 gauge then the 8 gauge for some reason.. i dont have any idea why but you'd be good with 8-12 gauge most likely

down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups

strapping 2 amps together ? like bolting them next together? using bungy cables to hold them down? or wiring separate amps to each sub
