Infinity Basslink Sub - What Gauge Wire?

[caister]

Planning on wiring up my x-mas presents tomorrow. The sub came with 10 gauge power and earth cable. Is this suitable considering its only 200w? I'm never really sure on these things.

Thanks

EDIT: I've just found some 8 Gauge power cable left over from my amp. If theres enough I use this BUT will I be able to run the sub and amp through the same 60A fuse block? They only come to 500w between them.

youve lost me there,have you added the sub and amp power figures together?
30amp fuse for 200w will suffice,if both are AGU fuse holders then you can swap the one from the 10gauge to the 8 gauge.I would use the 8 gauge purely if you ever decided to improve it further it saves the hassle

The 8 gauge wiring ive got going to the front amp has a 60amp fuse. Would it be possible to use the same fuse for the sub ie. two 8 gauge power cables into the fuse and two out (one to the sub and one to the front speaker amp)

in other words i dont have a second fuse suitible for the 8 gauge

All fitted now I used the 8 gauge with the 10 gauge fuse. I'm pretty impressed with the basslink sub. It's not windows shaking bass but its just what I was after.

what did you do fuse wise?the one in-line should basically total the fuses on the 2 amps

Each amp has a dedicated live and fuse.
