Can I use 8 gauge power wire as speaker wire?


Recommended Posts

I'm currently using 12 gauge speaker wire for my HDC3 12", and i dont think thats good enough for it being that the stock wires are 8 gauge coming out from the sub....

I have a bunch of 8 gauge power wire left over from an old amp i had, could i just use that as speaker wire to the amp outputs, or is it not designed to do that....

my friend told me not too, but all wires are just copper so i dont see why not....

F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap

yes. I use power wire for speaker wire... it's the same thing. wire is wire. :)

I even use my 12g knu speaker wire for power wire for my dc power supply in my car for the computer.

LOL of course you can man. thats what mostly everyone does. wire is wire

Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal?

heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked.

i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat

I have a sneaky feeling you're not going to notice ANY difference.

Thank You, I agree 100%, with the length of the Run the difference in resistance is Negligible.
