vinzo Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 hi guys, just a quick question, Is it better to use a thicker cable to wire your subwoofers, reason I'm asking I've seen guys using 8guage and shoving it into the speaker inputs on the amp and woofer, does 8gauge make a difference compared to the normal 12/16 gauge cable? your answers will help me decide which gauge spool to buy that I will use for my subwoofers. Thank you Quote

vinzo Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Posted March 21, 2013 My amplifier says 3500w rms at 1ohm. (I hope so that it's correct) I have two 15" woofers dual 2ohm, so if I parallel it will be reading point .5 ohm at the amp. Have a NSB 125 and maybe get a kinetic for the front . I'm looking to get another amp to strap as well. I'm going to bassbox Thanks Quote
