PaulO2288 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 18 gauge: ~5.5 amperes 8 ohms - <240 watts 6 ohms - <180 watts 4 ohms - <120 watts 3 ohms - <90 watts 2 ohms - <60 watts 1 ohm - <30 watts So basically 18 guage is perfect for running door speakers than. Im useing 14 guage in my car and im planning on useing 18 in my buddies car due to more on a roll, its thinner, more flexible and not running over 200 watts a speaker. Should it be fine then? And is that from a website? If so can you post the link? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
