[QUOTE="Boulderguy, post: 2604166, member: 572916"] So your amp puts out 2000w RMS? Or is it 1000 & you're running two subs on it? If it's the latter I'd use a single 12g wire or one to each if you want, especially if it's a short cable run. 8g is complete overkill. EDIT - I see your sig there, [B][COLOR=DimGray] Hifonics XX-Hercules? [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=DimGray]OK, maybe stick with the 8g, you can trim the ends down to fit, just cut out some of the copper - won't affect anything. Or better - solder the speaker terminals. Otherwise the 12g will still work for you. Wanna get really fancy? Use distro blocks.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
