Post Number: 871 Registered: May-05 | larger wire simply helps by allowing the current to breath. like breathing through a coffee straw and then breathing through a slurpy straw. the more air being moved, the bigger the straw's size. in car audio the type of wire doesn't matter as it pertains to sq. it's all a farse. the size does (in particular instances). i use 8awg wire on my subs and 12 awg for the components. just to be sure. |

Using a smaller fuse than what's recommended here will be perfectly safe. |

Power wire size is far more important since it builds more heat being high current DC voltage. |
