This is the best idea of all, tho replacing is fine. Dont go to excessive....dont go here.....go to this guy, go to that guy. Ppl will have problems with alot of ppl, it just happens. The forum fave here is Dom, whom consequently, i can find more sh!t about than anyone. He may be doing better, he may not, i dont care so...fanboys....save your breath. Heres my advice. Dude, find a decent warranty and price and go with that person. Excessive HO Alterstart Ohio Gen Knukonceptz Iraggi Mean Grean To name a few. |

Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Post Number: 255 Registered: May-06 | sweet. that sounds awsome. will 4 awg wire be enough for the 12wrms amp? |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2635 Registered: Dec-05 | should be, but if i were you i'd run 2awg cuz everyone upgrades sooner or later |
|
Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Post Number: 258 Registered: May-06 | yeah i might. i dont really see myself upgrading after i get the se's and the nine.1 i thnk that will be plent loud for me. the only other up grade that i could see me doin would be my componets and comp amp.. thats it... but thanks for all the advice guys |

Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 714 Registered: Apr-06 | I remember when I got my 2 12" CVR's and the hifonics tx1005d... I said the EXACT same thing.. now, about5 sets of subs and 3 amps later, I'm running 2 15" eclipse 88150 and an xtant x1001. Go with 1/0awg wire, and a distribution block.. even if you don't upgrade later, you'll get better flow with 1/0awg  |

Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Post Number: 261 Registered: May-06 | ok. its not that big of a deal. i dont need a dist. block tho. i have two amp kits running to the seperate amps. 8awg to the vpower and 4 to the big amp. ill jus replace the 4 with 1/0 shouldnt be very hard... thanks guys |
