amp & sub wire gauge recommendations


Recommended Posts

Just bought a SAZ-1000d amp, kenwood ddx470 HU, SA-8 v2 (D2) sub, and a ported enclosure from dave the box guy.

Normal 12v system, 110 Amp alternator.

It's guna be wired at 1 ohm nominally, and i plan on setting the gain using a DMM to ~ 700 watts rms ( i'll have the remote bass knob turned down so i doubt i'll actually be playing at 700 daily).

My question is, what size power/ground wire should i get? The run is going to be around ~13-14 feet. And what size speaker wire should I use to hook up the subs to the amp?

4gauge wire for power and ground to amp should be plenty. 12 gauge-8 guage speaker wire for sub.
