[QUOTE="Supergumby5000, post: 2604763, member: 563237"] I used 8 guage to run to the subs, then used extra 12 guage i had to run from each + to + and - to - on the subs. the + to + and - to - are creating the 2 ohm load, which means 12 guage would be enough power, then the 8 guage makes the run to 1 ohm. Bad news is those wires are CRAMMED into the terminals on the subs. im pretty sure not all of the wire got into the terminals, but most of it did i think. How much do i need to worry about this part? is there a way i can test if i get enough wire in there without having to take the subs out? they arent screwed down yet, but its hard enough to do all that wiring while holding a sub above its box by myself.
