sub speaker wire...

Post by jezze247 »

I was wondering which size wire to use. I have some 16 and 10 which would be better for one 10"?

depending on how much power you are feeding it but under normal use you would never know a difference.

16AWG is plenty for most subs/amps.
10AWG looks flashier.

ditto on the above. i would use the 10 just because i had it but like said the 16 would be fine. I use 12 on all of my speakers but only because i have about 1000 feet of it that i bought awhile ago at a store closing.
