Rn I'm running 12 Guage speaker wiring would that be okay or when I get the new box run 8 Guage
12 ga wire will work just fine. I like 10 ga for my sub stage usually and 14 ga for mids and highs, All OFCRn I'm running 12 Guage speaker wiring would that be okay or when I get the new box run 8 Guage

Wire won't help with box rise. 12g is fine for short runs to the subs...I'm running 8g for sub wire (and it's way overkill for the3k I'm running) but that's only because I had it already, otherwise i would be running 10 or 12g copper depending what the shop had cheaperWould it help box rise or no?
Box rise, more accurately, impedance rise, is the reactive load changes the woofer exhibits at different frequencies and it will happen, it's normal and you cannot mitigate it so don't sweat it. Resistive load can be minimized with all the other stuff you are talking about such as adequate gauge wire, parallel grounding, etc. My subwoofer leads are 12 gauge and at 6ft, way overkill, 16 would probably be adequate for the 1590 watts they could potentially carry. Get the largest gauge the leads will accomodate.Would it help box rise or no?
