[QUOTE="ngsm13, post: 2741069, member: 544830"] Blind leading the blind in here? Lol. The amplifier(s) you are using are NOT 800watts and 1000watts. Usually when amplifiers list PEAK wattages like that, their CONTINUOUS or RMS wattage if half of that. BUT, to be completely honest, the amplifiers you are using are of very poor quality. The american pro, you'd be lucky to be getting 300rms out of. The Sony, you'd be lucky to be getting 400rms out of. So, together... at most... you're getting around 700rms. At best. 8awg would be fine for this, just make sure it is fused accordingly. Now for the subwoofers, if you're using a box as you described... they are also of poor quality. As stated, unhook the tweeters. Just for future reference, a great way to check if a speaker works... is to take a 9V battery OR a Drill battery. Take the speaker wires coming from your speaker and tap them together on the battery... if the speaker makes a "popping" noise... it should function.
