[QUOTE="fire919, post: 6815567, member: 619493"] first of all this is all i had, just to be clear-(spool of 18gauge standard wire) i just got a 4-channel amp that is fairly new(alpine mrv-f345), (rated 75rms x 4 @ 4-ohms) and couldn't wait to hook it up. Anyway as u might have guess i used my spool of 18 gauge to wire my 4 speakers @ 4-ohms, problem is i'm not paticulary impressed with sound output...expecting much louder!...and when i do turn volume up all the way my amp shuts off. I use 4 gauge power and grounds.....so now for my question, is my speaker wire's causing this issue. and what gauge wire should i use if it is. [/QUOTE]
