CodyHendo Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 I will be wiring 8 dual 4 vvx 10s together for a 1 ohm load. that is not the issue, but what i am wondering is what size wire i should be running for this many subs. The setup will eventually be ran on 5-7k watts once i get my electrical up and an amp. So basically what size wire would: 1. Fit in the terminals of the vvxs 2. Properly supply power to the subs. Let me know y'all!

CleanSierra Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 It's a 600W sub, 12 or 10 gauge is fine for those. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
fecupe2001 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 8 ga is perfect, 12ga it´s more than enough, depends on your budget i guess, but you won´t hear any difference , maybe a couple of extra tenths on the meter if you care about that I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

CodyHendo Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Posted December 5, 2013 I would use a real 8 gauge. Not Bullz Audio! It'll be sky high whatever it is that i use. 8 gauge all the way around?
CodyHendo Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Posted December 5, 2013 It's a 600W sub, 12 or 10 gauge is fine for those. only 12 throughout 8 of them? Shouldn't it be bigger if i am running 5k-6k?
