this is killing me - How do you know which gauge would suite your set up?12 / 14 / 16 ....I have a Peavey 6505+ and orage 212 OBPlease help

I don't think the gauge is important. My understanding is that it should not be a shielded cable(like a guitar cable) but a speaker cable because of the difference in resistance, but I've even seen a guitar cable used as a speaker cable in a pinch--vice versa definitely doesn't work.

When I purchased this it was 14 gage. The rule, which I didn't know at the time, is anything less than 50 feet 16 gage is fine. You can use 14 gage but it's really overkill. I too have an Orange PPC212OB Cab and it works great.

Check fuses first. Then look at you high pass, full range and your low pass switch. Sensitivity also. Also your level min/max settings. If all else fails, contact planet audio.... they are great over there about walking you through installs.

I used 16 gage and my system sounds fine. The thicker the wire is, the better. But I think 16 gage is fine for most applications.

That's perfect right there. I use 0 gauge for mine. This is the most powerful amp I've ever had when it comes to bass. Definitely a must have

You need to know how many watts you will be pushing per channel and the resistance (ohms). Are you running at 4 ohms per channel? If so, that will fry these puppies. But, it shouldn't damage your amp, so you can always try it if you have the cash to spare. If I were you, I would contact the manufacturer.

Ok i would run 0 guage wires because you will be trying to run 120 amps through the wire and usually a four guage wire is 80 amps.. And on my 1100 watt brutus im using official copper speaker wire so i can get as much voltage as ican through the wire . But a complete zero guage wire should be fine speaker cables..

I honestly don't know, but the wire they give you is a really small gauge and most audiophiles will tell you to get something bigger. I think I ended up buying 16 or 14 gauge.

I connected two amps to it and it could not handle it. Go with a better eq. Clarion EQS746 1/2 DIN Graphic Equalizer with Built-in Crossover this is a better option.

there isatape monitor and a loadness..but don't uses this with a plyle pro power amp ..there seems to be a voltage mismatch ..and you turn the volume al the way to the right tom get volume

12 Gauge Maybe but very tight, 14 Gauge probably. Looks like it was built for 16-18. Also there is no Hi Level Line Out. So you cannot run amp to sub to speakers like many other subs. If you were intending this, I'd recommend one with ins and outs.

Did you ever get an answer or solution for this? I purchased 12 gauge speaker wire but have not installed it yet. I can return it if need be. Thanks!

Check that all wires are fully connected. Other wise it would probably be something internal in which case yeah I would return it. Other thing would be speakers but if you only noticed it with the new amp then there's your issue.

I used 10 Gauge, distance to the battery and controller charging output (Amps) has a bearing on the wire gauge size. Go larger rather then smaller, it make the system more efficient and saver.

I would go with at least a 4 gauge kit for that size of amp. This is more for a 300-400 watt range.

dont know... for future reference; get a resistor and measure voltage drop then calculate the current, ull blow a MM everytime trying to "direct measure" amps

Brian, I have to assume you bought this unit a while ago. You will need to contact Peavey warranty service. Amazon will not allow me to post the web link here but if you do a search for "peavey warranty" you will find the link to their site and the instructions on what to do. Pro Audio and Lighting.

Well first check you input gain but on mine the meter suddenly maxed out then dropped to nothing and hasn't worked since. That was on the first day of use.However, everything else works as it should (if a little noisy, it's not the quietest pre-amp). Since my interface has either all phantom power on or off I use the preamp for using both condenser and dynamic mics together. I don't think pinned in the red is normal.
