What guage speaker wire?
Wednesday, May 04, 2005 6:01 AM
Hello. I just installed my Infinity Reference 7520a 2 Channel amp (RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 97W x 2 @ 14.4V). I have an 8 guage wire running from my battery to my amp. I am going to put my speakers in today(Infinity KAPPA 60.5CS RMS: 90 Watts, peak 270) and was just wondering what guage speaker wire I would need. Thanks.

8 Gauge will be plenty.

I think he was saying to the speakers from the amp. You should have no problems with 16 gauge.

^^ i agree with this man. 8 guage would be overkill for your speakers. if u had subs... i would have voted 4 guage

My bad, I read it wrong. 16 gauge will be good. 14 if you decide to upgrade the speakers or amp at a later date.
