Q: QuestionIs 8AWG wiring recommended for this amp?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I ran 4ga as it can draw up to 60a of current, and most CCA 8ga is only good for 40a of current. The amp runs flawlessly with 4ga, but might not get enough current running 8ga unLess you run a premium ofc 8ga- a few companies make an 8ga that can run 60a.

Q: QuestionI have two 12 inch 1000 watt jbl’s with 250 Wrms 1000Wpeak and impendence of 4ohm each do you think this amp can take both subs?

Asked 5 years ago by Miami.

• A:Answer Yes this will be more than enough for them. They will become a 2ohm load when both are hooked up. This amp is most efficient at 2ohm. Make sure you run proper wire and check your voltage to get rid of distortion and it should sound great

Q: QuestionWill this power 2 300 watt rms kicker comp c enclosures you also sell?

Asked 5 years ago by Devo.

• A:Answer Should be plenty of power for that. With 300W @ 4 ohms and/or 500W @ 2 ohms, any efficient speaker will kick butt. Doesn't say what the distortion is, but @ 1,000 watts whatever the distortion is will double over whatever it is at 500W. As a digital amp, it should take no backtalk and thus have excellent damping. That said, this is a mono amp, so whatever your impedance on the speakers is will be cut in half due to the doubling of the conductance path. If your speakers are 4 ohms each that would be ideal, as the load presented to the amp would be 2 ohms. Or 4 ohms if each speaker is 8 ohms.

Q: QuestionThe specs state this amp has speaker level inputs. Does this mean I can just run wires spliced from my existing rear speakers as input to the amp and an LOC is not required? My factory radio doesn’t have RCA low level outputs.
