ncc74656 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 what gauge wire should I use to go from a 2500. 1 kicker to a 18 inch fi audio sp4? Its going to be a three to five Foot Length. nothing, gutted
skittlesRgood Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 10awg would be fine. I always end up using 8awg to hook up subs though. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

zydrix Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 8 gauge is what I use. Or sky high 10 gauge would work, mayb even the sky high 8 gauge for overkill My build 98 s10 2.2 3 american bass HD 15s with psi soft parts. (on there way here) atomic at-3000.1 (soon) 146.2 outlaw @39hz., bad alt an bad batt when termed (old 2 12" build) alpine 6.5s in doors infinty 4x6s in dash. clarion cz201 HU. mechman 240a H/O alt stuff i still need. SHCA 2/0 wire SHCA 1/0 to 2/0 adapters Atomic AT-3000.1 Lots of sound deadner new mids an highs, still debating on what to do. A few Deka g31 batts.
alaskanzx5 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 8 gauge and nevee go back. If it fits use it. No point in using a smaller wire when you could use a bigger wire. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

kirill007 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 Just use 10 guage, no need to use 8 guage, usually 8 guage won't fit in the terminals. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
