[QUOTE="Papermaker85, post: 8486418, member: 572595"] wew lad this is YUUUUGGGGEEE **** i love that name and im stuck on them clowing trump. so forgive me for being a child. these basis where tested and alot of electronics are desgined in according of these standards. why not use them when there fundomently sound? i mean im literitally teaching people how and why. who else does that? no im not always correct and no not everybody wants to learn but at least i put the effort forwad to tell the your people what and why. The power levels we use today are much greater. with 3000RMS wattage your looking at 15-50 amps of current to the voice coil with a typical 1ohm load. in the case of you wanted to run a single wire and just a jumper for the other coil(which is fine) the primary conductor would need to be a number 8. can you get away with less? yes, will it afftect the proformance? YES wire is cheap and its almost senseless to buy the 12GA for such an application when you could use 8. In this application, with 400 watts PER COIL with a 4 ohm load. sure 14 is fine even 16 in **** a short run would WORK . if your running one wire and simply jumping from one coil to another I would recommend the largest possible usable wire. in this case 12GA would work but you nearing the limits of the wire in the sense that your getting excssive voltage drop IE power lost. which is retarted since your paying fod muney for as much possible output as you can get so why use ****** undersized wire? that being said. I pesonally use one conductor per coil. why not!? this lowers the voltage loss and increases the power sent to the coil. its simple because its no longer carrying current for the entire load only a part of the load. so voltage is identical but amperage is reduced. depending on the circuit and the load limits in 3kw at a one ohm load to a single driver I would use numver 10 per coil.. what i mean is you can just generically recommend using a wire without truey know the current flow/consumption!
