[QUOTE="thai_creeper, post: 1792091, member: 566519"] I went to the bcae site and was messing around with the speaker wire calculator. I really don't know how long I'm going to need the wire to be so I entered in 20ft as an over estimate. I put 1 ohm, 2000 rms, 8 guage and it didn't give the "There's too much loss..." when I clicked enter, tried 3000 rms and same, it only gave that message when I put 4000, so with that length of wire or less I would be good with 8 guage for 2000 rms or less? Just checking because I didn't think 8 guage would be ideal for applications with 2, 3000 rms. Thanks [/QUOTE]
