Tribe Called Bass Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 I know this is a silly question but this will save a days worth of rewiring if i don't need to. So i have a bose bypass harness, the harness is wired directly to all of my bose speakers(all being replaced by b2 ref 3 way). Heres the issue though, the leads that come out of the harness are 16-18g wire that connects into a LC7i. The b2 amp pushes out 125.4 @ 4 ohms and 325x4 @ 1 ohm. If i keep the stock wiring, will i be losing power? Or should i just rewire all of it with my big spool of cca sky high 14/16g?
Joshdashef Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/speaker-cable-gauge heres a read that might help. if they aren’t super long runs you could get away with minimal loss but I’d say make sure your subs using 12/14 gauge direct from the amp atleast. If those wires are 16 gauge then I’d say you should be alright but 18 you may lose quite a bit SMD Tool Map (2024): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/226545-smd-tool-map-2024/ Great Box Bracing Examples: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/202148-best-way-to-brace-a-box/?do=findComment&comment=3055002

What a pain it would be The only wire runs i needed to do was my tweeters that are inside my door, didnt want to splice into the speaker and i also wired my dash speakers. Supposedly theres a crossover in the kickpanel somewhere and i didn't want that to mess with it. Now i just need to figure out how i can get my chimes back.
ToNasty Posted March 9, 2019 Report Posted March 9, 2019 With the module you and i have. They disabled the chimes. If you wanted chimes then thr pac gm41 or nav tv is for you ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
