Hi everyone, I know this gets posted allot so I will be straight forward and give you all my information and what I require.
I just purchased today a nice pair of subs, or so I think...lol, Well this is what I got: 2 10" Infinity 1030w subs 250w RMS and 1000 MAX 1 MTX MXA6001 class D mono amp to power them 300RMS @ 4Ohms, 600RMS @ 2Ohms There in a sealed box by the way This is what I would like to know: 1) What gauge wire should I use to hook from the subs to the amp? 2) What gauge wire I should use for the remote turn on? 3) Where is a good place to ground the amp? 4) What would be a good RCA cable to use? Should it have features like twisted or super shielded...lol...I duno just giving examples to help better answer my question. 5) Since the subs are only 250RMS would it be better for me to wire them in 4Ohm, or 2Ohm based on what the amp provides. 6) What style fuse should I use, AGU or ANL? And what AMP rating? 7) Last if anyone can give me some ideas on how I should run my wiring across the celi, through the center console, or side panels? Id be happy ![]() If anyone could help me with these many but hopefully simple to answer questions that would be awesome. I am a newbie at this but I enjoy a challenge. |

WOW! That’s some great detailed info for me thanx, I am grateful so far.
As for more information to the subs and the location, Subs: Are 4Omh Impendence, and they are both in the same sealed box, in the trunk. Amp: I plan on mounting it in the trunk since i feel it can have the best ventilation there, unless some one can recommend a better spot? Also that video gave me allot of help for planning where to run the wire, Thanx ![]() |

Also that video gave me allot of help for planning where to run the wire, Thanx ![]() [right][snapback]302686[/snapback][/right] Since the subs are rated at 250watts rms @ 4 ohm and the amp puts out 300watts rms @ 4 ohm, I'd say just wire it like you would a normal speaker. As far as mounting the amp in the trunk - you're right, it is the best place for ventilation. However, I have a 100w x 4 ch amp under my seat with not much clearance and I haven't had it shut down yet, so I wouldn't place TOO much importance on ventilation. The reason I chose under the seat was for stealth purposes. I wanted to have a nice, loud system but didn't want to take away from the interior appearance or space. Do what you think is best for you - maybe try it under the seat and see if you have any problems. One final installation tip: Use heavy duty velcro to mount your amp. If you're mounting the amp to the floor, rather than drill holes into the car, staple one side of the velcro to the carpet and stick the other on the bottom of the amp. It works fantastic but make sure you get the heavy duty stuff. |
