would i need a 0 gauge wire if I'm using a hifonics brutus amp with 2 of these subs

4 gauge OFC is only capable of transferring around 1,300wrms threw a 18 foot run. 0 gauge would be sufficient if your hooking up a secondary battery and 1300 + monoblock

You could wire it that way running some in series and some in parallel if you know what you're doing, but getting good balance might be tricky. For example, you could run 4x6 in series with a 6.5 on each of the two front channels, the 6x9s on the back channels, then run the sub channel bridged with the 8s in series in parallel to the 12s in series. You'd probably be louder and sound better just ditching the 4x6s and 8s though and using the amp like it was meant to be used. I run 4 6.5s and 1 12 and its retardedly loud

The only wires you need is some speaker wire from the sub enclosure to your amplifier. Thank you for your interest.

Should be fine for basic audio. For High Wattage and high end speakers I wouldn't. I would use a higher gauge. Be careful of some speaker wires. Bought an audio kit for a car and the wire was so brittle, after a few months all the strands broke and no conductivity. It was at a fitting that went in the input to the amp. Caused by the vibration of the car and going over bumps broke it through.

subs are amplified and size of the RCA patch cable really does not matter.Depending on the length of your speaker cables will determine the size needed. I used 12 guage for myself. save some money and get the wire based on guage... monster cable is not needed, it just has a thicker jacket. Just don't coil up excess wire.

yes and no if your on a budget you will strain the amp because the subs is rated at 1000 rms but they will push up to 3000 watts so no problem there you might want to put a crossover to tune in your hi and mids because it going to get crazy loud I have 6 of these on two audiobahn amps in my explorer bigger is better but it will sound great with what you have unless you are trying to shut em down

0 Gauge wire should be used!That is what is ran to my Brutus.At the very least a deep cycle battery (fast discharge) should be used!My total system wattage is 5400& I use 0 to each amplifer!The more voltage the better!!!Don't Skimp Out!

If the amp is used just for the subs,I would suggest an amp kit with 8 gauge power wire.

Yes you should if they are dual 4ohm jus run negative to positive cross. Then the open negative and positive to amp. Do this for both subs. Be aware these subs handle 400 watts rms so you will need 800 watts rms or at least 400 watts rms for solid bass

yes,,you have to bridge your subs in a pro box with a single port (black and red) speaker terminal..from amp negative speaker output into negative on box,,and same for red,,from inside box bridge out to positive and negative on your subs.

I used the one I bought to power a 2000 watt stereo system with 1 gauge wire and it worked great. All the db stuff I bought was exactly as it was described. If it says it will handle 0 gauge id say it will. I was using ofc copper wire and not that copper coated alum stuff.

Depends on how you wire them up. Perallel or in series. I have my single wired in Perallel which dropped it to 2 ohms and I am powering it with a Audiobahn A8000M that has a peak of 2200 watts and an RMS of 1100 watts. It sounds amazing. So if I were to power two subs I'd get a 2000 watt peak power 2 channel amp and bridge it at least.

I honestly don't know, I used this kit for a low end system. (120 watts powered sub/amp combo) The way I see it... the higher the wattage, the lower the gauge. 4 gauge would be better.

They can handle a lot pf power so an extra heavy gauge wire would work. The same rules apply as with any other speaker, really. Use the highest gauge wire within reason, don't use solid wire (use stranded). I would terminate the wires with a ring or fork terminals (preferably insulated with shrink-wrap) to have a nice way to connect to the terminals on the speakers. You can purchase name-brand cables if you wish, but that's a personal choice.

Hello. We would recommend using a 4 gauge amplifier power cable, and a minimum of 16 gauge speaker wire for the subwoofers. If you are installing the amplifier further than 10 feet from the subwoofer, you will need to use a minimum of 12 gauge speaker wire.

if your not running any crazy wattage then no problem. this wire is plenty beefy. i have a yamaha 115/channel surround and i have no issues.

After more than 50 years of reading about, setting up, and listening to stereo systems, I've concluded that thick, lower gauge wires are unnecessary unless the distance between receiver and speaker is especially long. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise by blind tests, but I'm not aware of any. I use 16 gauge now and that is probably overkill, considering that many of my speaker wire runs are less than 10 feet. Do not buy high end (expensive) wire whatever the gauge.
