03 Xtreme Fosgate Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 You should fine,I don't have any of the SHCA 16 ga but if it's anything like their 14 ga then it's bigger than the average 16 ga wire. Their wire seems to be a little oversized which is great so you're basically running 14 ga to the comp set.

03 Xtreme Fosgate Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I believe it will cut on you thoe :/ Thats what i experienced on a lincoln navigator at only less than a 100wrms and the wire was 14G aprox maybe 7 fts I recommend you going 8Gauge at least that will help ((: Ummm no.

Skullz Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 It is a/c and not d/c so the wire will be fine running your comps with it. The chart is only good for D/C runs, with A/C you'll be able to use much smaller wire and run it longer. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chart is only good for D/C runs, with A/C you'll be able to use much smaller wire and run it longer. Correct me if I am wrong, I believe that an amplifier fed by a direct current (DC) battery will also output a DC signal to the speaker. That is why there is a positive and negative terminal on your amp . You are correct that the chart is for DC current. Alternating current (AC) is what is in use in your house.

03 Xtreme Fosgate Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 DC power stops at your amps power/ground inputs, everything out is AC current. AC in your house has to have a ground as well, even older houses with old wiring with no ground works because your neutral & ground wire go to the same ground bar in your house panel. sorry bout grammar but I'm drinking & don't gaf right now. lol BUILD LOG-http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179004-03-s10-xtreme-ext-cab-rf-build/ PHOTOBUCKET- http://s1354.beta.photobucket.com/user/03XtremeFosgate/library/truck%20audio%20rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why there is a positive and negative terminal on your amp . You are correct that the chart is for DC current. Alternating current (AC) is what is in use in your house. The amp is fed by ac voltage from the rcas, it then amplifys that and outputs it to the speakers. Dc current is what is used to make this process happen. Dc current is flat. No sound. Ac current has waves. Which produce sound when hooked to to a speaker. 1999 GMC Yukon, 6 PSI platform 5 18's, 4th order bandpass by BHE, Taramps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
