which gauge i should go with?

[DEVO1 0]

im getting audioque 15inch alum coiled

and my amp is

Hifonics BXI2008D 2000-Watt Super D-Class Brutus Amp 1-Channel Mono-Block

with 5.0 frad cap

so i wonder what gauge wire size i should get for it?.. silver or copper? or what?

0 guage imo, ditch the cap and get a battery, and upgrade the big 3

id look into diffrent equipment. whats your budget

I think you should have saved some money & bought the copper coils. People normally buy the aluminum when putting over 2.5k+ RMS into it.

That Hifonics is only going to put like 1600ish in it maybe? I don't know, someone else could tell you.

Anyways, what do you mean by wire size? Do you mean power wire or speaker wire? If speaker wire, I say go w/ some Knu Kasa 10awg wire.

If power wire, just get some Knu flex 1/0.

BTW, I would suggest getting an extra battery in the back vs a capacitor if you can afford it. Also, have you done the Big 3?

Ah i never done big 3 before.. and i cant afford to get extra battery yet.. wiring is not cheap lol ahh really? i thought alum coils is safer and fine cause i use sub too more than daily cause im hearing impaired heh

Yes, the alum. coils are better but you really don't need them. You could buy the copper coils & save some money to buy wiring. Most ppl will tell you, that if you're not putting over 2k RMS in one, stick w/ the copper. Now, if you plan on upgrading your amp after a while then get alum or just get it if you prefer 100% American parts.

0 is always the way to go no power loss
