[QUOTE="Zesty, post: 3283891, member: 579961"] Looking to install a Cadence txa1000d and soundsplinter rl-p15 to a pioneer deh-p5800mp. I have a bunch of questions, but right now one major one. I was planning on wiring the speaker in parallel to get a 1-ohm load and 1000w. My question is on the speaker wire size. I have been suggested 12awg wire, but from the sticky up top it says I should be using a size bigger(10awg)? I don't want to skimp on wire size, so I figure it would at least give me more "headroom" using the 10awg? Or is 12awg plenty considering I'll be running a short length of wire(from amp to sub in trunk)? Also, on the box to the amp it states it can accept 8gaug speaker wire, but in the manual it states it can accept only 16gauge....what's up with that? [/QUOTE]
