I recently bought a stereo for my truck. What is a good average gage for a ground wire? Speaker wire? Power wire? Last but not least a speaker control (remote) wire? If it helps, I am running a 760 watt pioneer amp on two 12 inch subs. Thanks
You should run at least 10 Gage power and ground wires. I would recommend 14 Gage speaker wire.
seriously, who would use 14 guage wire for your subs? I am running 1000+ watts With an Alpine 4 channel and a Diamond Audio Sub amp, not some cheap Sony, Jensen, Audiobahn or the like. I have an 8 guage power/ground wire to my dvd player, 4 guage to each amp, i run 8 guage pwer wire for my speaker wire to my subs. my remote wire runs relayed thru 16 guage
It depends on the size of the amplifier. Recommended wire size should be no less than 10 gauge wire for power and ground. 4 or 8 Gauge power wire you need 4 or 8 gauge ground wire . Speaker wire depends on the speaker. Door speakers should use14-16 gauage speaker wire. Subwoofers should use no less than 12 Gauge speaker wire. Remote wire doesn't need to be big at all use can use 16-18 gauge wire for the installation.
