adire brahma + jbl 1200.1... what size wire should i run to the sub? also, when wiring the coils in parallel.. should i run two equal-length wires, one to each coil, from the amp? or can i just go from the + of one coil directly to the + of the other.. i know for home theatre setups you're supposed to keep the wire lengths even for right and left channels, but.. does it matter for subs?

Yea, it's not that big of a deal to keep wire length the same. I like bigger wire, but some people prefer to keep with the smaller speaker wire.

i have 2 gauge power wire and 8 gauge speaker wire...but then again..i enter comps with my system all the time...depends on the amount of $ you want to spend on wiring!!

well.. i have both 12 gauge and 8 gauge laying around.. id rather use the 12, because 8 is pretty bulky, but.. its available if i need it.. what do you guys think.. 1300+ watts to the sub.....?

mudaholic

so.. any opinions? should i run 12-gauge or 8-gauge? id like to use 12, but id probably use 8 cause im paranoid about signal transfer.. somebody help me out

the bigger the better.................size DOES matter in this case
