additional driver power cable size ???

[bruce_taylor]

Adding the additional driver for second Z. Can anyone tell me the size of the power cable connecting the power to the driver and its run in series from one driver to another is it ok to just add on to the next driver for the power hookup??
Thanks

If you are running Alpha drivers, you probably can wire in series...but I would follow the factory's example and wire to the common terminals. 14-16ga stranded copper should be the right size.

Thanks Brady, Yes they're alpha drivers it just looked like the factory wires seemed bigger than the 14ga I have almost like the insulation is super thick or something so just wanted to check with someone first. Off I go to do a little wiring and soldering.

14 ga copper is good for 15 Amps @ 120v. Each driver pulls no more than a max of 7 Amps - which I bet none actually do pull that much.

I really appreciate the forum members help. It is an invaluable tool to be able to bounce things off such knowledgeable people. The peace of mind when doing upgrades is really great. Thanks again!
