[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8411136, member: 661255"] 1. The amplifier isn't 100% efficient. Some energy is wasted in heat before the output stage. 2. The amp runs off a low voltage power supply (12v systems for most people). It pulls lots of current at low voltage and puts out high voltage with lower current. The larger input wire is necessary for the current demands. The output (speaker/subwoofer) wires do not carry as much current (amperage) There are more reasons. However, I run 4 gauge OFC for my subwoofer wires because I can. [/QUOTE]
