Posted June 7, 200916 yr I want to get 8 gauge speaker wire for my speakers and was wondering if it matter if I use "Power Wire"? Here is the link. KnuKoncepts Power Wire And if I want 5 feet i would really need to double it for positive and negative so it would come out to 10 feet in quantity, right?Thanks in advance, Never bought from KnuKoncepts.
June 7, 200916 yr That's what i'm about to do.I need 95ft though for 4 15s, I'm considering runnin 2 runs of 8awg for every terminal.
June 7, 200916 yr Knu is the way to go, i get all my wire/fuses/fuse holder everything from there You can use that if it will fit into your speakers terminals
June 7, 200916 yr whats wrong with u ..? if u want speaker wire u get ...mmm ... speaker wire u dont need 8gauge for speakers anyway ....
June 7, 200916 yr Author whats wrong with u ..? if u want speaker wire u get ...mmm ... speaker wire u dont need 8gauge for speakers anyway ....My amp is more than 5 ft. away from the box terminal. So i need 8 gauge for the long distance. I'll lose power if get get less thick wire.I know it won't be noticeable but I got the $10 to get it so why not. Edited June 7, 200916 yr by tech2332
June 7, 200916 yr my reasons are probably different than his.if this wire is for your single ICON, you can use 10awg just fine, probably 12 but i'd personally do 10.For me, it's for comps so totally different reason.For the OP, i'd stick with speaker wire too. Not necessary to go crazy.
June 7, 200916 yr Author Speaker wire is more expensive though, Not by much but it is.. Why is that? Does "Speaker Wire" already have both runs (Positive & Negative) of wire? Edited June 7, 200916 yr by tech2332
June 7, 200916 yr what do u have ..speakers or subwoofers ... and the 5ft is no distance ...(wont loose any signal) ...normaly if u have the amps in the trunk u get more than 10ft ....
June 7, 200916 yr yes, u find me some speaker wire that doesnt come as a pair of wires and i'll.... well, you can't, they all do.
June 7, 200916 yr Author Even with the advise to get less thick wire I got the 8 Gauge a sec. ago. I guess you can call me hard-headed.Appreciate the help and will take it all in. Edited June 7, 200916 yr by tech2332
June 8, 200916 yr Author I ordered some speaker wire and I was wondering if you get a tracking # from Knu ?P.S. - I didn't want to make a new topic so I just came back to the old one.Thanks
