    I ran 8AWG to my subs but it is completely unnessecary. 12-14 is good enough.

    Im only using regular speaker wire for my subs, it's way too small though IMO. How the hell do you get two sets of wires into the tiny holes. It's a really pain in the butt. How do you do it Jonny?

    im running 8 gauge for my subs. CC what i did was thin them out a bit so i could twist them up and fit in the holes.
