Alright, should be a fun show. I'm leaving now to head up there, I'll be looking for some SSA action lol! GL to everyone running today!

IMO I'd use 0 gauge, then either trim it at the amp or put a distro block VERY close to amp to step it down to 4. If you decide to use a bigger amp later then you already have your wire and wouldnt have to buy more stuff saving you $ in the long run, plus your wire can never be too big, or @ least thats what she said muhahahaha. seriously tho when it comes to wire there is no such thing as over kill I knew that there is no overkill with wire but I wasn't thinking completely. Thank you on the reassurance and the mentioning of a bigger amp later on I totally didn't think about that . Plus, that is very valid, wire it once so I don't have to do it again . Thanks again for the quick response!

Welcome.

I think he means run 1 amp to each voice coil node so he wants to run 2 amps.... combined its 2400watts of power and btl's have been seen running much higher. I don't know if I would trust it but it is more than likely possible.

x2!

Hey guys, My name is John. I currently am spending my summer in Tucson, AZ. The drying out state of all. I go to college in Dallas, Tx. I have been looking to upgrade my car audio system and heard this was the place to be for knowledge. Seeing how so much has changed since the last system I put together (10 years ago) I felt it was necessary to re-educate myself. I appreciate any knowledge I can absorb from here. Thanks everyone - John

I was wondering if it was possible to wire my 4 ohm subwoofer to a bridged 4 ohm - just need a diagram on how to wire it. thanks in advance. I have a alpine type-r 12" 4 ohm (SWR-1242D) and a rockford fosgate P8002 amp - 800W @bridged 4 ohm -John

my apology, i'm kinda tired and not thinking straight - models are now in first topic

Yea, the current stock alternator runs 120 amps idle and 130 amps max. If I'm right I should be covered since 1200watts/14.4volts = 83.33 amp that leaves a decent amount of headroom for other car accessories to run.

Welcome, I'm new as well so we are both in for a treat. I like to see an Alpine fan since it is what I currently run (2x 12 Type-Rs)! Good luck!

it increases the durability of the woofer - like he said it increases the resale because if you run it hard it can take the power and doesn't damage the woofer

high output
