New member Username: Bryan333Post Number: 2 Registered: Nov-06 | can anyone link me to some good 500watt amp wires? My subs can hit 500watts rms, but the guy at circuit city only gave me 350 watt amp wires :/ |

New member Username: Bryan333Post Number: 3 Registered: Nov-06 | alright, im kinda new at this stuff though. The 350 watt amp wires will only peak my subs at 350 watts rms correct? |

New member Username: Bryan333Post Number: 4 Registered: Nov-06 | edit: can wires above 500watts still work at 500watts? I talked to a guy from circuit city and he said I need 4 gauge wires. I check on their site and I found these, http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Tsunami-Amplifier-Power-Kit-AMP850BL/sem/rpsm/oid /71672/catOid/-13120/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do it says there 850 watts, but is that just the peak amount of watts? can they be used at 500watts? |

Post Number: 3895 Registered: Mar-04 | yes...you should use a 4ga amp kit for 400-800wrms what amp do you have? that Tsunami amp kit will work...but why buy a $75 amp kit w/ no RCA's when you can get the one i suggested w/ RCA's for $26+ship??? |

New member Username: Bryan333Post Number: 7 Registered: Nov-06 | are those wires not worth the price? I want good wires, so if theyre not worth the price then i'll get different ones |

" ROFL.... Bryan, As you get into car stereo you will probably want to upgrade soon. I would suggest getting the extended service plan, wait, save, and learn more about car audio. Return that stuff for store credit or cash and buy something else. Everyone starts somewhere. 2 12" Subs with an amp for $100 bucks is not an expensive lesson. Good luck. And if you need any future help you know where to find us. |

New member Username: Bryan333Post Number: 9 Registered: Nov-06 | yeah i know.....im not looking to get anything crazy though. I just want something that will put out a decent amount of bass to even out the sound with my new speakers |
|
New member Username: Bryan333Post Number: 10 Registered: Nov-06 | I wasnt even planning on getting woofers. I blew the speakers in my car, so my first plan was to just buy speakers but the guy at circuit city told me about those so I thought what the hell and just bought em. with the speakers, wires, two subs, and installation it costed me almost $600 and I dont even have a job :/ |

Bronze Member Username: Bryan333Post Number: 11 Registered: Nov-06 | lol marc be honest how bad are they? I've never owned a system before so I wasnt looking to go all out on my first one. I just hope it will give a decent amount of bass....I dont need my trunk to rattle.....yet :D |
