[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8464603, member: 540940"] 10 awg is adequate for that amp, but knowing an upgrade needs to happen sometime soon you should probably just run 8 awg, it's only a few $ more. Jeff is exaggerating a bit with the 40-80w comment. That amp will likely do 150-200w at 2 ohms. A mono amp has only one channel, but it can power multiple subs. It just needs to be connected to an impedance no less than 2 ohms. That can be a single sub, two subs, or as many as you want. The power is distributed among the load so a pair of 4 ohm subs wired parallel for 2 ohms getting ~150w from the amp means each sub sees 75w.
