I'm using a 2000 watts stereo amp to power 1500 watts passive car subwoofer, mostly to listen to music. I've read here that using RG6 cable is good for the subs but I suggest that RG6 is only for the active subwoofers. Internal AWG of RG6 is 18, and I need at least 14, preferably 12 to keep my subs happy and sound. I was planning to get a usual 12 AWG speaker wire from a local electronics store, which will cost about $1/foot. Is there anything better of the same price range or cheaper of the same quality? Do I even need to bother with getting a shielded wire if the wire will only be up to 20 feet long (yet there are 3 electrical devises close by plus 2 floor speakers of 250 watts each)? Despite the fact that solid copper is tough to bend and run over the room - which is better to use for subwoofer, solid copper or stranded wire? In stranded wires - how many inside strands is better - more or less? What wire material is preferred within reasonable price range? Thank you
