JZeFF Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I had some 8 gauge wire i had planned on using for my 18" nightshade, i cant make it fit... What kind of wire should i get, 10 gauge or 12 gauge? I'm getting the wire fro KNU so w/e gauge i get will end up being larger than normal. I'm powering the speaker with 2x dat 1000.1's, if that matters...

treossi Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 i'd trim down 8 gauge to make it fit.. rather than going with something smaller.. big believer in big speaker wire Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
