I'm about to install my single P3 sub but have a question about the wire running from my amp to the sub. Is it ok to use a large 9ga wire for this? I have alot lying around and would rather use it than buy 12ga if I can. Will this affect anything? Thanks in advance.

It should be better, especially on a long run.

The main benefit is less heat and power losses

The only problem might be whether or not it fits the driver and amp connections.

What's a "P3" sub?


Is this a powered subwoofer?


If so, why aren't you running a low level interconnect rather than a high level speaker cable?


How long is the cable run?


How much does 12 A.W.G. cost you?


Where'd you find "9" guage cable?
