what amp wire to use?
 
Hi i have a JL 10WOv2 sub and a MB Quart FX2.60 amp. Is 8 gauge enough?

For speaker wire or remote turn on?

Just googled up the amps' specs:
60w RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms
120w RMS x 2 @ 2 ohms
240w RMS x 1 @ 4 ohms bridged.

Yes, 8 gauge is sufficient. Remember to use a fuse close to the battery. :thumbs:

Remote wire is the thin blue one, usually 18 gauge.

Amp to sub; depending on how long the wire will be, 12-16 gauge speaker wires are fine.

Turns out my wiring kit isnt 8 gauge wiring. Its 10. But it can handle 500w. Still good? Thanks

Thats pushing it. I would say 10 ga for 300 watts and 8 ga for 500 watts with a typical 15-20 foot run.
