Bronze Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 79 Registered: Oct-05 | also, when you go to that websight and you want to buy a speaker wire how do you know how long that speaker wire is going to be? |
Bronze Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 96 Registered: Dec-04 | the quantity is the length in feet. 14AWG is fine for subs, anything over 12 is said to be overkill. |

Bronze Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 81 Registered: Oct-05 | so if my amplifier is 800 watts bridged and it is bridged would i go with something higher than 10AWG? |
Anonymous | Can't you use ya own brains & figure it out using that guide superfly gave you ? watts in rms is what matters ! - you simply look @ the lenght of wire you will need & the amount of wrms the amp puts out & it shows the gauge of wire needed for the job |
Bronze Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 82 Registered: Oct-05 | i know, and i did and i says i need a 4AWG wire but that just seems to be too small? The baseball 1187 guy said i should i get a 14AWG... |

Silver Member Username: Robert_dMIA, FL USA Post Number: 348 Registered: Sep-05 | the lower the awg (gauge) wire the larger it becomes same as in shotgun sizes 4awg wire for your power connnections 14awg for your speaker wire should do you fine even allows u some head room if you want to upgrade |
