How much speaker wire

[Foote 10+ year member]

How much speaker wire in total does it take (of twisted cable) to wire 2 subwoofers. The amp will be mounted on the box, i just dunno about how it will need to work inside. I just need to know how many feet of twisted speaker wire to order to wire only from the amp to the 2 subs.

Are you serious?

Take a string and run it from your amp to the box terminals then add another 6 inches for play.

Then measure that length and viola.

well the box isnt built yet...and the amp isnt here yet either. Im trying to get all the wiring ordered so the guy doing the install for me will have everything. Just dunno how much speaker wire i should order.

depends on the size of the box, but 7-12.34 foot should be good

The best thing todo is order a 25-50 foot roll and store the left overs for your next install.

Ok. Pretend you are tight on money and you have to order ONLY 1 strip of wire that is just long enough to do the install you are doing. Your install is a box, with amp mounted to the back of it. And the box has 2 15" speakers in it and the box is say about 40-inches long....How much wire would be the least youd feel comfortable with ordering?

If you are that tight on money that you can't pick up a roll of speaker wire for a few bucks, then I think you should re-think your current hobby.

Not to be rude, but ask the guy doing the install. Either he will know (considering he will be putting it together and know the sizes of everything), or he should have some on hand.

If where the wires come out of the amp, you have the terminals there (within a few inches) I'd say about 5-6.33333333 foot.
