    I think that you could see some benefits with a 12 gauge cable. My thinking is that the amps in the bass module can't regenerate a signal that has been lost/attenuated in the 16 gauge cable. The 12 gauge cable will carry more LF which can be then amplified by the bass module amps. As I have mentioned earlier the sound gains a lot more weight due to the LF.

    But this is only a suggestion. If you are happy with what you have then it makes sense to stay with the 16 gauge you have.

    Re: Anyone play around with Duelund wire?

    It's not about allowing current. It's a simple series, voltage divider circuit. It's the end-to-end cable impedance in series with the 2 Ohm loudspeaker impedance. In a series circuit the current remains the same thru all sections of the circuit, it's about voltage drop in the cable compared to the speaker.
    Thicker or shorter cables have lower end-to-end impedance.

    Re: Anyone play around with Duelund wire?

    I had 12 g duelund on my speakers (TAD R-1s) and still felt a tremendous benefit in the lower register when I moved to the Elrod cables (@20x the price). That said, the foregoing analysis seems spot on. Either way, huge bang for the buck with duelund and some of the equivalent offerings.
