Rep Power: 361 A larger wire is only good for allowing more power to pass through. Think of a wire like a pipe, and the electricity (current) as water. The larger the pipe (lower gauge wire) the more water (current) can flow through.
But if you have a sprinkler that only allows a certain amount of water through, even a 50 foot wide pipe will not make any difference on the amount of water coming out.
So your amp can only draw so much current before failing (but thats why they are fused so they cant ruin themselves). A larger wire will do nothing past a certain point. 10 gauge wire is plenty large enough for that infinity.
Oh also you will have to get some fuses when you get the basslink in once you see the rating of the fuses that infinity calls for in the manual (probably 20 or 25 amps)

So just try to play it alot at lower volumes for a few days.

the only way to properly break in a sub is free air excursion at subsonic frequencies.
i've had owners of audio companies tell me to blast them at will from the moment they are installed.
