| What would the proper wire guage be from a Crossfire VR1000d to my FI Q12d2 ? The length from amp to speaker is about 4-5 ft. |

| why is your length from your amp to your sub is 4 to 5 ft. dude that is way too far lol i thi nk mine is like maybe 2ft if not 1ft. they say the shorter the better but that has been a rule of thumb for me now. |
