Hey Hey,
I just bought the 500W RMS Alpine sub amp from Futureshop that is on sale this week
It's marked down $100!! from 299.99 to 199.99 .. I highly recommend it!
My question:
From the 12 v car Battery I am using 8 AWG for the + and - Leads.. since the voltage is so low and amperage is so high 500W / 12 V = 42 AMPS
What I am wondering is what gauge I should use from the AMP to the Subwoofer ... does the amp step the voltage up and thus reduce the current so that I can use something smaller than 8 AWG??
Thanks,
Peter
