Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 that jbl will be plenty for the BL, just make sure you tune your gains correctly with a multimeter. look for 1000rms on it at 2 ohms, and use 12 gauge speaker wire. Quote
GORILLAslap Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) what do u mean use 12 g speaker wire i thought if u have more power u need thicker wire?

Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 with the subwoofer, use 10 gauge wire. because that will support 2400rms at 2 ohms (iirc). thin wire can only support so much voltage and current. sorry i mean 10 gauge Quote
raytard Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 after the amp its ac, higher voltage current. 12g is waaaaay more than enough for that amp (the box says 1200rms@4ohm and 1500rms@2ohm), 12g speaker wire is fine for the speaker connection, but because of the 160amp draw that it has, youre going to need 0g run to the back, and then a distro block/stepdown/extra batt to step down to 4g for the terminals and honestly, a btl is only the way to go if you have the cubic footage and amperage it needs, if you cant put up the power and space, going a step down is almost always louder and cleaner.

dmanson Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 use 1/0 for your power wire potna ..... that way if you add a lil more power later you wont have to redo everything. 1/0 will take you around 3500rms but anything lower than 3500 is okay.

Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 use the biggest wire you can fit in your amp. if that amp does 1200rms at 4 ohms then use 12 gauge yea your fine. 12 gauge: ~21.8 amperes 8 ohms - <3800 watts 6 ohms - <2850 watts 4 ohms - <1900 watts 3 ohms - <1425 watts 2 ohms - <950 watts 1 ohm - <475 watts the Dual 2 option on Fi's site will make it to 4 ohms.
