QSA : My take on their expensive products

My full story and pictures are under the Aries Cerat "The Auroras are coming " thread.

Lets see a picture. Sounds nice.
 
What leads you to believe that 10 awg NMB doesn't have a sonic signature, just because it's not voiced?
I didn't say that. Its NEC compliment, readily available and UL listed for many duplex. 8 awg is not listed for any duplex, its more expensive, harder to run and only available in stranded. It has a voice too. A voice that 0 manufacturer have built their equipment too. Most all have built to a 12 solid or stranded. Maybe even 10 solid or stranded.

How would you characterize the "voice" of 8 awg?
Particularly vs 10 or 12

#8 is more Staccato. Extremely fast less liquidity. I would use it on Subs all day. I would use 10 solid on amps and front end for better body. Even Dan D on a phone call told me a #10 is more than enough for the Relentless. A #10 installed properly will give around 570 amps instant current delivery. Not watts. Amps.

What would you run from the main junction box to the sub panel?
 
I consult for projects and when I do I am looking at multiple criteria. No one size fits all.
