Amart88 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm using 16ga twisted for my pwx's. Then again, i'm not running 8 of them. Anything bigger than 14 you won't fit in the terminals.

CleanSierra Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Sometimes 16 gauge is cheaper because it's more popular. Just a thought.yeah but did you actually read the description? 16gauge will never handle 1 ohm and over 750rms. or can be? How do you figure one run of wire would have to support 750 Watts RMS? There are 4 speakers in question, are there not? That brings my math to, let's say 190 Watts per speaker wire. Yeah, 14 gauge can handle that. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Schenk Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I would do 12 gauge but I always do over kill on speaker wire may be fine on 14 guage though On 3/28/2014 at 4:22 PM, KyLar96 said: Its all about the music anyway.....

alaskanzx5 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 One was already giving, 1 ohm = less efficiency. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

Yeah, 14 gauge can handle that. no because i would do i single run to the first speaker , and run from first to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Johnson Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 My box was made with 8 gauge going to the subs and going to the amp. I had to solder on an inch of 14 just to get it in the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - I think 6 gauge actually, I know it was way fatter than the wires coming out of my hdc3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I just wanted to throw it out there that there are people pushing 2k plus through 12 and 8 gauge wiring for sub with no issue.... t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
