my subs are 4 ohms , will this work??

Those are RF's into level subs...from what Crutchfield says they handle 50-100 watts RMS...and the amp says about 100x2RMS at a 4ohm load so you should be fine.

Hey...just FYI...but check out the following Crutchfield page...looks like they are selling a pair of those for 116.90....which is cheaper than that E-bay listing. http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-aR05UQnPw0V/ProdView.asp?i=575rfz2412&s=40

When it comes to wiring....I say always think ahead. You said this was your first install...but do you think you might upgrade in the near future? You would be fine with an 8-gauge set....but if you plan on upgrading go with a 4 gauge set....you will thank yourself in the end.

Cap wise....hell it can't hurt. I would say install the amps and see....if the lights are dimming....get a 1/2 farad cap. Really all depends on the condition of your battery and alt....with that amount of power you should not have any problems.

Well good luck and ask away if you have any more questions.

how exactly do i wire the 2 channel amp to the subs, bridged, parallel, series? Any tips on installing subs into a box? is it as simple as 4 screws?(sealed)
---thanks a bunch

[tmanana]

Here....this is a side view of that exact amp (found it on Crutchfield's site)

Notice that there is a Right and Left channel &quot;+&quot; &amp; &quot;-&quot; speaker outputs...with these speakers being single-voice coil....all you have to do is run speaker wire from the left pos. and neg. on the amp to the pos. and neg. connections of one speaker...and the same with the other. Very simple. Box wise....even with sealed boxes it's a bit more complicated than just building a box and using four screws. Read the documentation that came with the subs and check out what the factory recomended for internal volume for the enclosure...and try to build one that meets those requirements. Also, the enclosure has to be sealed completely....which means lots of screws and the use of a sealent (use silicone)...lastly use .5 inch to .75 inch MDF(medium density fiber) wood...most say this is the best stuff for speaker boxes. Hope that helps!
