[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8850041, member: 674149"] Yeah not sure what you mean by "any cable" If you mean, Any SIZE cable, - it's a very small amount of power needed for that wire, that is just a switch. You should be able to find in the manual, but usually its just about 100-300 millivolts. You COULD use as small as 24awg, but using wire that thin is incredibly brittle and delicate having only a few strands. When you run a wire that thin from your head unit to the amp, there is a good chance you could break the strands and never know. Most will suggest between 14awag-18awg. Not because you need it for the current, but because you need it for it's physical size, so you can work with it. I use 16awg, and a 50ft roll is only about 5-10 bucks. [/QUOTE]
