Yes I HIGHY doubt 4 or 8G would even come close to fitting. How much was sticking out?

It wasn't sticking out a lot, but some.
I checked, I have a 16 awg wire. Should I get some new wire? Or will 16 AWG cut it for 400 watt RMS? Knukonceptz eko wires.
My friend is urnning around 400 watt RMS to his JL w6, he has a JL kit. I think its either 12 and 8.

"Speaker wire sizing:
Speaker wire isn't as vital as power and ground, because you're dealing with high voltage, low current AC voltage for speakers, much like wall outlets in a house, as opposed to high current DC voltage for power and ground.
Generally, this is my rule of thumb:
for component speakers (midbass, midrange, or tweeters) 18-16AWG is fine.
For subwoofers, 14-12AWG is plenty.
Anything you choose to use of a larger gauge will really only be for looks, as there will be no electrical advantage to larger wire."

Ah! 16 AWG! Will I be fine? I'm going to be pumping like 400 RMS. Hell, I'm sure like 12 AWG wire isn't that expensive is it?
