I see in the 3 & 4pi crossovers that 20awg is the minimum for inductors. What difference is there going with all 18awg or even 15awg?
Thank you

When you go with larger diameter wire coils, DC resistance is reduced and the end result is bass will tighten up just a little bit. We use 18 guage in stock builds, and 15 guage is a recommended upgrade option.
