[QUOTE="packardhell1, post: 4539056, member: 592878"] Well, you should look at it like this - if you made the box what would you use? What ga wire do you plan on running from the amp to the speaker box? For 750 RMS, I'd go nothing smaller than 12ga both inside the box and out. When I built my boxes (granted this was ~10 years ago), I always used 12ga inside the box. If you were building ~300W RMS, I'd say 16ga is fine, but not 750. Go with 12ga, or, if you can afford it, 10ga.
