Also; what sort of wiring should I use between the sub and the amp if i am running 2 ascendant audio arsenals (10 inch) off of a Nine.1 amp |

Silver Member Username: MixmastaspigCanada, Canada Canada Post Number: 870 Registered: Sep-05 | It depends on the power from the amp, 16awg is not reccomended, I dont even use 16 awg on my speakers in my car I use 12awg.....16awg is like the size of headphone wires...... http://www.partsconnexion.com/wire-cable/images/crystalwire.jpg |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1114 Registered: Mar-04 | 16 ga is actually pretty good sized speaker wire. At 4 ohms it's good for 300w+ at 10'. Dropping impedance increases current out of the amp. That's where the need for big speaker wire comes in. Headphone wire is probably 24ga at most. They could use something MUCH smaller, but it would be almost impossible to work with. 16 ohm headphones with a 1.5v power supply doesn't equate to a whole lot of power - as in ~1/5w. |
