the power wire will probably unwind your voice coil. they don't get along well, it's like a cat and a dog.

c'mon use some common sense, nothing that consumers can buy is that complicated.

12-16ga is fine for most subs. so scosche 8ga should be about = to that

4-gauge and 8-gauge power wire is the only way to roll on sub's speaker wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Monster cable 16g speaker wire is only 10$ for a 50ft roll at Wal Mart //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif Or 3$ a roll if you work at Best Buy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

anything bigger than 12awg for speaker wire is overkill //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
