[QUOTE="StuartV, post: 1939073, member: 568133"] KaeZoo, I gotcha. Thanks for 'splainin'. Now I see where our difference comes from. You're basing your calculation on the RMS power. I am concerned with the peak current through the speaker wires. If I estimate the peak power at 300W per channel (they're 100W RMS per channel), then, using your math, I still get just under 9 amps per speaker wire. Basically, the same as the other way I calculated it. And I get the same conclusion: 20 - 24 awg factory speaker is too thin for good SQ results (and safety) in this application. [/QUOTE]
