I'm working on 2 sealed UM18s that I want to power off of a Crown XLS5000, 1600x2 at 4 ohms. I was planning on internally wiring with 14AWG, mostly because its flexible, but should I be using a thicker gauge? Parts express is telling me 10AWG. Its only about 30" so I figured 14AWG would be...

I’m in the process of building a dedicated HT. I’m at the wiring point and I’m finding that I’m pretty green when it comes to the video side. I have 2 questions. 1) I’d like to hear peoples’ recommendations as to what wires I should be running so make sure I have maximum flexibility with...

I know it's illegal to run general purpose stranded speaker wire inside a wall. Is it ok to run it inside a wall if it's inside metal conduit?

Hello. My Father has purchased a Crown XLS 1500 amp for use in his studio. I'm considering building him a subwoofer rather than him purchasing one. I'm really liking the Dayton Ultimax series. What I would like to know is the XLS 1500 he just purchased has Speakon outputs. If I were to build...
