Probably overkill there. BUT if you have extra 8ga laying around and can fit it in, more power to you! You'd be fine with 10 or 12 though.

I shoot for 10ga then, thanks

I'm running Scosche "14ga" per voice coil on my Q 12"... Seems fine so far

How far is it from your amp to your Q? If not far, 14ga is more than fine.

12 or 14awg is fine..

Pretty sure that doesn't matter at all.

Why don't you do yourself a favor and be respectful when you are posting!!

you do realize that as a wire gets longer it has more resistance, and needs to be thicker to prevent burning up. especially in high power applications.

if you dont know what you are talking about, keep quiet and learn.

Pretty sure you don't understand wire length and resistance, as mentioned above.

Pretty sure that definitely matters.

Thanks for helping yet again, oh powerful M5.

What are you guys talking about? Looks to me like he was pretty respectful

Seriously, when working with that much wattage, evrything starts to matter...what the strand count is, how long, the type of metal, proper connections, etc.
