Posted September 16, 200519 yr I have a Tapco J2500 pro amp in my HT (playing an IDMAX 12) and I'm currently running each channel to each voice coil (so that should be about 750wrms to each coil) the signal is mono. The wires I'm using right now are 25ft long and 14 ga. Is this too small of gauge for this power and lengthMy run only needs to be about 15 ft long, Should I1. Keep the current set up and not worry2. Cut the 14 gauges to the smallest length possible given the position of my amp and sub3. Buy larger cable and still run separate wires to each coil4. Bridge the amp and run the 4ohm coils in series and use make speaker wire so to speak out of 8ga power cable5. something I haven't thought of.Q if this doesn't change the power output (acc to tapco's website) with the increased resistance change the response of the speaker, as indiated in WINISD.The box is 3.2 tuned to 27thanks,b
