    Is 16 gauge PURE COPPER ENOUGH FOR SUB 325W RMS CONSTANT

    I am planning to rewire my subwoofer and had bought pure copper 16 gauge which is used for home theatre installations for speakers. Will this gauge 16 wire be able to provide sufficient power for a single voice coil 12 inch JBL sub 325w rms or should i go for 12- 14 gauge?

    Speaker wire conundrum with modern cars.

    Hi all, Upgrading the system in my 2016 Kia Sportage (using equipment from previous car as I'm being tight and it still works fine). Being a modern car it has a wiring harness between the door and cabin, not the old hole with a rubber grommet that we were able to thread new speaker wire...

    16g vs 18g wire

    Is 16 gauge wire really necessary? The speaker wire kit that I bought has 16g, but I thought 18g was standard for speakers in general. (I already have 18g wire) My amp is 400w, and there's no sub, so it's not exactly a high powered system.

    Hey guys, just want to confirm this information real quick. I want to wire my tweeter with my speaker in the same channel. I read that if you wire an 8ohm speaker in parallel to a 4 ohm speaker the impedance will drop to 2.6 ohms. The 8ohm speaker will receive 33% of the power and the 4 ohm...

    Basic question about calculating RMS and total wattage of my set up

    This question may be quite straight forward, but I cannot find an answer anywhere. I am new to this forum but I found the formula to ballpark estimate my total amperage.

    Use multimeter to determine polarity on speakers while playing?

    Can you use a multimeter to determine polarity on wire that is unlabeled (potentially while music on)? Wires were connected to factory rears to run to amp high level in. Those bare wires will power a test 5x7, just unsure of polarity when wiring my high level adapter.

    Hello! So the rule goes you should not ground to a painted surface... once you have cleaned the surface free of any paint, and made a connection. Can you then paint over your ground to prevent rust?
