bbeljefe Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 12 is a little too small, assuming a ~5 foot length. 10 would suffice, unless you've got some kind of stupid long run.

wrexxy Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 no it'd be less than 5 ft, i'm just trying to figure out if i'm going to have a harder time getting the 10 gauge into the speaker terminals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbeljefe Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 You can cheat it a bit by cutting off enough strands to fit the wire in the hole... just don't cut more than necessary. That's essentially the same as using a reducer. You can also double up on 12 if you already have enough of it and don't have 10... just be sure and only cut away the amount of strands necessary to get it in the hole.

Slobalt7 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 12G terminals? I have Stinger 10G running to mine with a MM or 2 to spare. Quote Yeah, it's slower than your bowel movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Can I ask why you want to run almost double power to the Sa8?

bbeljefe Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Good box, good drivers & good settings with double the RMS power means you can get rated power to the drivers more often.

wrexxy Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 ^^^ This exactly I have a DMM and an Oscope, so as long as i don't screw up it'll be clean power up to full volume on the HU. And it'll only be 1000 watts rms if I have the volume on my head unit maxed out, which I doubt will ever happen. Plus i'll have the remote gain knob which i'll set and make a marking of what blends well with my front/rear speakers (ID CTX65cs abd CTX65) cause i'm assuming the sub will greatly over power the speakers even though they'll be getting ~125 rms at full HU volume. So as bbeljefe said when i'm actually playing at normal listening volumes i'll most likely be giving the sub the rated 500rms. Besides the fact, tons of people run 750 watts and up to the SA 8 v.2 daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrexxy Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 plus the box is built by davetheboxguy, so it's good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
