dionysus Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Title says it I'm wondering if 14 gauge wire will be good or do I need to go 12 gauge? Right now I just have new Rockford 6x9s one in each door. I will be glassing my doors for more mids/highs but not till like the end of the year and possibly as late as the beginning of next year and I do not want to re run wire. I was going to run CT Sounds or Execution Audio (same owners) but Sky High has better prices so I'm going with them on wire and they make 14 gauge as the others don't. I know its kind of a stupid question but I just wanted some opinions if it'd matter between 14g and 12g. Thanx!

I used 14 gauge for my mids on my Mb Quart 0a800.4 and it seemed alright, It isnt huge and is easy to work with. 1997 subaru legacy outback Four 15's in a almost wall Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on tweets Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on highs Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midrange Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midbass Optima Yellow top batteries 270A Singer alt (working on a bracket for a second) Lots of Second Skin
diegoclass2010 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 depends how your going to wire everything.. but if its one run for each speaker or even for two speakers i would with 14 gauge ofc
dionysus Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 Thank you guys for the input I appreciate it! I'm just going to go 12gauge cause after looking its less than $3.50 more for 12g over 14g. Lol and yeah can't go wrong with bigger huh lol!

dionysus Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 Thank you I'm going 12g! Sky High has some good prices for 50' and 100' of 12g so Imma do a measurement with string to.get a rough estimate of if ill need 50' or 100' but ill probably go with 100' cause its not a bad price at all and if I ever need more ill have it!
