if im planning to power 2 12 inch subs would 8 gauge wiring be good?

For power I would use 4 guage. And of course the same or larger for a ground. For a 1200watt amp 4 will suffice. Or you could always go wit the big 3 upgrade. All 0. Let it hit!! Lol.

I would recommend 4 gauge for the power wire just in case you decide to change your amplifier you will not have to go back and run over the wires. However this is not a very powerful amplifier and I strongly suggest putting the extra money and buying a better amplifier. What are the 12" subs are you going to use?

I used 8 gauge for 6*9. Personally I would go 6 gauge. But not knowing the power of your amp and Speakers I can't say more. Don't buy the cheaper ones. Solid copper not copper coated.

Should work perfectly fine with 2 gauge wire. They were a little tight with monster 0 gauge, which is a little oversized, but the allen bolts go all the way inside which should 2 gauge wire with no issues.

Depends on the watts of the subs. Personally, I would go with something current. Do some research and try to get the most outta your subs. They push my cheepo 12s nice.

4awg wire will work fine, no need to replace with 8awg. I have 4awg wire ran to this same amp accompanied by a JL 10" sub and it supplies nice, clean power

if your not running any crazy wattage then no problem. this wire is plenty beefy. i have a yamaha 115/channel surround and i have no issues.

as long as the ohm load for both subs are no less then 1ohm yes the amp will work from 1 to 8 ohms

while I can't be sure, my previous experierance with one from a different manufacture appeared to be 12-gauge, all the connectors with all the leads the same, presumably so it can be use as a multi-input to single out or vise versa depending on your needs

no.. it will be under powered.. even if the sub were a dual 8 ohm, the lowest you could wire it is 4 ohm, then you'd still be getting half power. Sell your sub because unless you're going to run 3 of them or more, an 8 ohm is pretty useless. The other repliers obviously have no idea what they're talking about so I hope you didn't buy this amp for that sub haha

It should be fine, I run my single sub with about the same power and it hits very well. Make sure you wire them correctly because it definitely makes a big difference as I myself found out first hand!

Dude any amp will work with your subs but I'd you want the most power wire your subs to one ohm. I have two infinity 12 inch dual voice cola hooked up to this running one ohm resistance and it's so loud it out powers my speakers if I crank it

I don't think I would run two of that sub because it is a 4 ohm sub. That would restrict your watts from the amp to about 300 watts output. If they were 2 ohm subs it would probably be fine. I am running one kicker 12" sub ported and it is a 2 ohm sub so I am getting 500 watt output.

It depends on how far your speakers are to your receiver I used 12 gauge. Here is a link that might help you: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/172172-speaker-wire-what-size/

you'll get 12v & 1amp on each channel. If voltage matches, amperage matters little.

You can buy either a 8 or 4gage wiring sub wiring kit. I'm using a 4 gage with that sub.

Yeah, I agree with Claudio. It would push them but it would probably overheat and go into protect mode before getting anything near the SPL that those 2 12's can make. You should get a 1000 watt amp instead and run them with the gain turned down a little so that your subs don't distort. You'll have plenty of headroom for your amp as well so that it runs cool and smoothly with no signal clipping.

I would consider a bigger amp because of the 2 12's and you need more power. If you bring to 2ohm load then you can power with any 2 channel or mono with sufficient power. Check the power rating of the drivers and will help in your decision. Hope this helps.

4 gauge is best for power and ground, for your speakers, regular speaker wire. These wires are the same for most amps I've used.
