New audio stuff

this just arrived today

[Broken External Image]:



I swapped it out with my Alpine amp which is now for sale in the swap and sell.



I have a RF 10 sub sitting on my bookshelf, as soon as I find a box I like, that will go in.



I will be getting some 8 gauge cable this weekend and replacing the exhisting 10 gauge.



so far it sounds ok, I am still waiting for my back speakers to come back from repair.



this amp is about 4 times heavier than the alpine, but only about 1.5 times larger.



Pics will be forthcomming this weekend once I change out the power cables. it is embarrassing to see that 10 gauge in there. but I am only driving the front 2 speakers at the moment.



If my backorderd gps ever gets here I will finally be finished with this project. I have been holding off taking roadtrips until the stereo is done.

Is 8 gauge really enough?? I have never run less than 8 in any system I have built. I used 8 back in high school becuse it was all I could afford at the time, and it came in the "kit" I got a Wal-Mart. Now days I use 4 gauge on all my amp wiring. Now I am running dual amps (one for mono sub, and one for the other 4 channels). What are you trying to power with this amp??

 

[Axel Deneselya]

well it says to use 8 gauge in the owners manual so that is what I am using.

Keep in mind the manual is stating what they tested the AMP with and the company is saying that is the MIN requirement..



If you can afford 4 Gauge that is the best thing when powering AMPS.
