Silver Member Username: Holt_champHtown, MI Post Number: 138 Registered: Oct-06 | and is it ok to put 16 gauge wire from the amp to the subs. what is the max that you should go with that?? |
Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 7359 Registered: Dec-04 | how much power are you running? 16 should be fine, I reccomend 12 as a all around good wire for speaker connections but you should be able to get away with 16 if the run is short and you are not using thousands of watts. |
