skittlesRgood Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I know that's what I have now but I was just wondering If 12 gauge would hurt anything why is gods name do you think you need 12awg wire for a remote turn on from the HU? Quote If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

kingsuv Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 why is gods name do you think you need 12awg wire for a remote turn on from the HU? Because 4g didn't fit in the hole Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOPA Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) In most cases, electrically, 22awg is fine for a remote wire, but its physical strength is lacking due to the abuse during installation and the auto environment in general. I know a competitor who is leading in his class that ran a 50amp toggle switch and an 8awg remote becuase he swore it made a difference... I told him he had confounding variables and he thought I was referring to his alleged STD and became a little flustered. This is part of the reason I don't compete....

monkeyleg Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Dude do like I do, run each remote wire from from amps to switches. Now I can turn on/off back speakers, front speakers, deck speakers, pillar speakers, outside speakers, trunk subwoofer, and interior subwoofers. I just think it's cool Quote Google it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Because 4g didn't fit in the hole i bought custom machined 1/0 to 18 awg reducers for my remote wire. ive used 32awg wire as remote wire to prove a point. 18awg is plenty Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.
