That totally depends on what amps you're running.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

in the sake of SQ its always better to go bigger if you can afford it. at least where the wire is conserned.

look online and for 6 to 10 bucks more you can get a 8 gauge kit. and fosgate wire is made by the same company that makes some other companies wire. its all about the number of strands and shielding.

http://www.knukoncepts.com has some good prices and the specs on thier wire seem to be above most in the business. I have a question on the board right now as to if their wire is worth the money compared to LA or Stinger or Fosgate.

Personally I think your paying for a name when you buy fosgate. but hey its a good name so....

You could, it would be like giving it one 5 guage wire, but seperated, though I would advise against it, you could introduce noise from the dual wires and you would also have to run two ground wires. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif

Wire is wire.

No one wire sounds better.

Yes, you are just paying for a name.

Cant lay it out in any more simple form than that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
