[QUOTE="Thizzler, post: 6958576, member: 625073"] [SIZE=18px]I just need to know what Gauge wire kit i should buy![/SIZE] [SIZE=14px]I was thinking and was told 8awg wire kit.[/SIZE] The booklet that came with my powered sub says (under the Power Connections part) Installation tip Use at least #12 AWG wire for the +BATT (+12Vdc) and GND (ground) connections. If needed, use at least a #20 AWG wire for the REM (remote) connection. Install a fuse holder with a 20 A fuse within 18" of the battery + terminal. The REM connection requires +5 to +12Vdc signal for Basslink to turn on remotely. Most head units with preamp outputs provide this remote voltage signal. For speaker-level applications, a remote connection is not required, since Basslink's Auto Turn-on feature will sense voltage on the speaker wires to automatically turn on Basslink. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE [IMG]http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/monkeyfukkerr/c19c062b_htf_imgcache_39919.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/monkeyfukkerr/basslink.jpg[/IMG] I know I have another post about wiring but this one is more straight forward which just needs a answer (other one is for continuous help). THNX FOR ALL HELP! [SIZE=36px]So what gauge wire kit?[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
