wired to 4 ohms it puts out 1800 rms total. my power and ground are each 4awg and my speaker wire is 16awg. The system isn't as loud as it should be. checking around i found 16 awg cant carry that much current. am i right to think i higher speaker wire awg would help if so what? and i know these arent great brand products so i dont need to here about any of that please stick to the question. any advice that isn't about brand choice is welcome thanks
 
my friend has one of those in his lil civic car and i was suprise on how well it did. alrigt speaker wire um.. bigger speaker wire will make sub louder IDK. but if ur looking for bigger wire check out the car audio stores. bestbuy, circuitcity ect
 
It could be you might need to tune your amp or the settings on your deck. I think I have 14 gauge wire running my amp to subs. You might need to get 0/1 gauge wire.
