CNF Kevosinn Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I think 10 would be fine if its a short run. *** SuperSeller Status Verified *** ( http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers/ ) "kevosinn's" astro van 8 custom Sundown Zv4 18's 4 Sundown scv 6000's CNF Distribution CNC parts Skyhigh wire some batteries SMD Meters and tools used on the installhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172877-kevosinns-vanwest-coast-skyhigh-car-audio-vehicle/ 16,000 watt walled silverado build.http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161965-walled-silverado-4-hdc4-15s-4-crescendo-3500s-and-much-more/ 8,000 watt 1999 Subaru legacy outback.

weshole Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I would say 10 gauge as well. How long of a run you plan on using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 You'd think they would have found a better picture to show off their products. Quality control fail. Go with Knu.. my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agreene Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 10 gauge or 8 gauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-A Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Dont go cheap, and length of run is a factor. Short run, high quality and 10ga should be fine. And i second carbon, Knu makes some nice cable. 2004 Dodge Ram Head unit- Alpine iDA-x305s Sound processor- Clarion eqs746 Mids/Highs amp- Alpine MRV-F345 Sub Amp- Alpine MRD-M1005 Dash Speakers- (3) Dayton Audio rs75 Front Door- Skar SPX65c Rear fill- Skar SPX tweters and Dayton ND140 midbass Sub- Fi Audio SSD 15 high QTS SHCA power/ground cables and Stinger interconnect XS power D6500 under the hood and D680 in the amp rack Big 3+ with SHCA http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161174-dodge-ram-quad-cab-fi-ssd15-skar-audio-alpine-shca/?p=2326251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agreene Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KRD10BL this is good ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KRD10BL this is good ? Yes! Get this or 8ga. Knu is the king of wire. Like I mentioned I run 4ga Knu for my subs, but I like to overkill my electrical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I can't remember where the wire guide is anymore, but unless you are running 2k all in one set of wires you wont need 8ga. Look at this guide and remember that if you are using a DVC sub or 2 DVC subs divide the power by the number of coils. Then look at the ohms of each coil and check the guide. You would be surprised how little wire you actually need. here is the guide http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/1005-wirefuse-guide/?hl=%20wire%20%20guide Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

I would never pump 3000 watts through an 8ga @ 1ohm unless I was looking for an insurance claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
