what if my speaker wire or power wire is bigger that it is recommended?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@456japs If it fits on your amp then why not, it is never a bad thing to have thicker power and ground cable.

Are there any enclosures on your website that would go well with the 15 inch alpine type r?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@EmaniAintWhite Our prefabbed 15" Ported Enclosures are limited on supplies, and the only round subwoofer enclosure is roughly 3.13 cubic feet. This is slightly larger than what Alpine recommends for the airspace, so you may want to consider a custom built enclosure. The pre-built enclosure will work OK, but for best results, consider designing a custom box.

should I get an Re Audio Sex 15 or an Alpine type r 15 and i wanted to go ported

[SonicElectronixTV]

@EmaniAintWhite Both of those subwoofers should sound extremely good and have some great bass response. In the right enclosure, the Alpine Type R might be great for your application, especially if it's ported correctly. The SEX15 might be a little more flexible as far as different boxes it can be put into, so if you can't build the perfect enclosure you might wanna go with the SE-X Subwoofer.

Yes, Rockford does make true gauge wire. In fact, Rockford Fosgate cable meets the CEA-2015 standard for cable/wire. That means that the cable is make with the specific amount of copper to meet the gauge size requirements.  With Rockford, you will get a true gauge rating.

There are so many wires out there that are not true to gauge. A true gauge wire is crucial! The cheap wire is dangerous, I have seen low end cable catch on fire and it is not pretty. Great video, hopefully more people will get true spec wire now so we don't have to deal with the headaches of low end cable!

@EmaniAintWhite had that exact same question for a long time, currently having the sex15 shipped

[MrWildfire92]

the kicker wire has something in the middle eating up wire space= both wires have teh same amount of cable in them

[QuranGoodman43]

[QuranGoodman43]

[907tacokid]

@SonicElectronixTV so many companys add more rubber surround to there wire to make it look bigger like the install bay 2 amp wiring kit i bought from you guys only had like 4 gauge wire wire in it... it was suposed to be 0/1 gauge. my 12 gauge rockford fosgate speaker wire was thicker wire than my wiring kit i got from soche suposidly 8 gauge!
