[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 384392, member: 540940"] Stop and think about it for a minute. What about using different wire gauge could possibly cause a problem? As long as the wire is large enough to pass the current required it makes no difference at all. You should reconsider who you think of as "expert". The "expert" may in fact be right in some cases. Such as an amp that requres 4 ga and is used with 4 and 8, or worse 8 and 8. And even then - if the wire is properly fused the worst thing that would happen is a fuse would blow. Plus, if the amp was never pushed very hard it may in fact run fine. But one thing is for sure -- simply is not true. Sorry I sounded like such a ])ick in my last post. We've probably all been misinformed or at least poorly informed at some point or another. But if you see 5 or 6 replies that contradict what you've been taught it might be a good idea to reconsider your beliefs than to reply as if everyone else is wrong and you are the one with the educated answer.
