Bam Bam Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I am currently re wiring my dual 1 ohm subs. I and using 8 gauge power & negative wire. The amp is roughly 3 feet from enclosure. Is this wire thick enough? By the way I'm looking at 8870 watts of power across 3 subs. 6 Funky Pup 12's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Bam Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'm starting out and 1.5 ohms however I will drop it to .67 ohms from time to time. At .67 ohms I would see 14,000 watts. 6 Funky Pup 12's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
