Upgrading subwoofer wire.
Rockford amps have 8AWG speaker connectors. If your sub can accept 8 AWG go for it....it will only cost $20 bucks or so and you'll feel good about it.

Right now I'm using 8 guage wire to power my small MTX amp that is 150rms x 1, and the subwoofer wiring is 12 guage.
I was wondering would it be smart to upgrade the subwoofer wire inside, and outside the box to atleast 8 guage.
My sub is only 250 rms so I will make sure to lower the gain quite a bit because it might not handle all the power from the 5002 amp.
Do you guys think I am right about upgrading to 8 guage for the sub?
