Speaker wire

hell you could use the 8ga wire for speaker wire, most amps have 8ga speaker outputs and subs have 8ga push terminals. but its kinda hard to twist 8ga wire together. so you could run the 8ga from the amp use the 8ga wire in the terminals like aq/dd subs and use 16ga for like 6inches or so to twist them together and use elec tape to hold it. weird your walmart actually closes all the way ones here at 24hrs

Yeah man, its in a mall and the mall closes at like 9:15 and walmart closes at 10:00 kinda sucks.

Oh and now i know what you mean by someone actually knowing what they are dooing. I cannot for the life of me solder that **** wire onto the cup terminal. Maybe if i could actually see what was going on.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

its speaker wire. im sure you'll be fine running the 1600 watts through your 16ga wire. its not like its being used as power wire

no need to solder. with a good crimp spade connector (or whatever you need) you will be fine.
