Speaker wire gauge ?

[Angel Galvan]

Hello so im upgrading my system up and I purchased a 12 VXF from skar that will be running 1500 rms 3000 peak. My questions is, will my 12 gauge speaker wire be good enough ? Or do i have to go lower gauge ? Im running like a 7ft or less run from sub to amp.

12 will be fine for a short run, I'd run 8-10awg if it were me but only because I go a step or 2 overboard. 12awg can easily handle a 1500w short run though, assuming it's good wire.
