Message	I have never seen to small of speaker wire cause the issue you are having. The light on the side of the amp what does it say? Does it say protection or low impedence? Maybe its letting you know its going into protection mode because the sub's vioce coil is shorting out. Or the speaker you are using is to low of an impedence for the amp to work correctly. Just my insight. Maybe it will help. frank1991

Maybe you'd want to add more later (n/m) - JustinChien 01:35:10 05/14/03 sure, 10 awg is a little small for power wire, but - Altersys 02:24:14 05/14/03 Im 99.996% confident that your amps ground is insufficent - Bobby12many 08:38:21 05/14/03 I have had 10 gauge on my single bridged amp and single sub> - Unluky(MO) 08:57:35 05/14/03 i used 8 gauge on bridged 400wtt rms amp to 1 12", no probs - komplexZ 11:37:37 05/14/03 make sure you have a good ground too (n/m) - komplexZ 11:39:36 05/14/03
