[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4294552, member: 550915"] They don't NEED 500W and even if the previous installer used 16ga inside the box, over a run that short any loss in power would be negligible. The W3s should sound way better on the same power as the W0 and will at least be as loud. Blindly recommending that he get the 4 ohm version so he can wire to 2 ohms is pretty irresponsible. He might need the 8 ohm version because his amp won't do 2 ohms. The proper advice would be "make sure that you get the right impedance subs to match your amp. If you let us know what amp you have we can make sure that you get the right ones." [/QUOTE]
