2002年7月13日 · Simply put, AWG is an acronym for the American Wire gauge. It's basically a standard for measuring the thickness of wire. 18AWG wire is roughly 0.04 inches in diameter. The smaller the AWG of the wire, the thicker it is. Incidentally RG6 is …
Can I use 18AWG speaker wire? - AVS Forum
2007年4月20日 · Using 18 AWG wire will result in signal attenuation equal to some 0.5 dB if your speakers nominal impedance is 8 Ohm, and up to 1dB if their impedance is 4 ohms. So IMO you will be more comfortable using 16 AWG wire. Of course 14 AWG is even better.
XLR cable gauge matter? - AVS Forum
2018年6月23日 · Yes, it is good enough; no, it does not really matter for a 50's subwoofer run (low-level signal). 18 AWG is fairly large for that matter; my sub runs are also 50' (I think, been a while) and I am using 24 AWG mic cable. 18 AWG sounds like speaker level.

Power Cable upgrade - do they make a difference | AVS Forum
2023年5月20日 · Cables, including power cables, make (or at least can make) a significant difference, but there is no need to spend a lot of money. I would avoid Audioquest, as everything they make is way overpriced. Start by just trying a cheap 14 AWG cord on your AVR vs. the standard 16 or 18 AWG it comes with and see if you hear any difference.
Speaker wire and how many watts it can handle... - AVS Forum
2022年2月10日 · That’s a pretty high current, where you’d probably want 4-6 mm^2 copper wires (10-12 AWG). So unless you’re actually averaging 2.4 kW over longer periods you’re fine. If 2.4 kW is actually an average with peaks even higher, the cables are a bit thin.
Number of strands in speaker wire - AVS Forum
2007年10月13日 · I generally go with what most speaker makers suggest: 18 AWG or higher, whatever's cheap, 16AWG for longer runs, 12AWG for very long runs or very high power (or if you just have the coin and feel like it; there's no negative impact to any in a reasonable length - you can screw with impedance significantly at very long distances (hundreds to ...
SPEAKER WIRE = 14 AWG or 12 AWG? - AVS Forum
2007年12月2日 · American Wire Gauge (e.g. 14 AWG) refers to how many turns per inch the bare wire covers. So for that example, 14 turns in one inch means the wire is 1/14" diameter, without insulation. 10 gauge wire would be 1/10" (0.10 in) and so on. So the LOWER the gauge number, the thicker the wire. Here, 10 gauge is noticeably thicker than 14 gauge.

2015年2月27日 · They power big dual-18's just fine, I'm sure it will drive ur 1 10" LOL. Click to expand... Haha yeah, don't worry I have an adequate understanding in electronics, I used some 18 AWG speaker wire to connect the power to the amp and it's only like 2.5 feet of footage so the resistance isn't that bad.
