7Kv.2 = 6.5"
9Kv.2 = 8"
11Kv.2 / 11Ov.2 = 10"
13Kv.2 / 13Ov.2 = 12"
16Ov.2 = 15"
19Ov.2 = 18"
15SPV.2 = 15"
EHQS12 = 12"
SQ10 = 10" slimline

On every page it tells you the usable range of the sub you're viewing... All subs except the SQ10 and EHQS12 come in either a Dual 2ohm or Dual 4 ohm - your choice... the SQ10 and EHQS12 are Single 2 ohm OR Single 4 ohm...

He is. He is currently on a business trip though, and will return on the 15th. I'm waiting... no wait, MY ENTIRE INSTALL is waiting on his speaker spacers.

I recommend the Nine.2x bridged and one 13Ov.2. Like everybody is saying, you don't need two subs in this car for a great sound. And if you're getting two to try to bump the hell out of everybody around you, you'll probably get your stuff jacked sooner or later. You would around here, and I live in a decent town.

Speaker wire. 12 gauge is strongly recommended for subs. If you're pushing some major power though, even 10 gauge would be a good idea. Overkill maybe, but it'd make sure that your power gets through.

As for getting your stuff jacked, the trunk cover isn't going to keep your bump inside the car. That was what I was referring to. It can attract the wrong kind of attention.

And for the love of god, PLEASE make sure this amp kit has a fuse and fuse holder! What gauge is the kit anyhow? If you're really going to push 1000W+, you'll want 2 or 0 guage.

so i would have the 4 gauge power and ground the rca wire and the remote wire and then i use the speaker wire to go to the subs is that what your sayin?

Yeah. Speaker wire is bought seperately.

You'll want to take a look at this. The 12V is a reputable website. Getting too small of power wire can cap what power your amp is getting, and could even be a fire hazard. 1000W @ 8ft. is close to what I think you'll be pushing, but i'll let you be the judge.

Yes, you have to run it from the battery to wherever the amp is kept. I don't expect mine to be more than 10 ft. Even if it is, I have 50ft. of 4gauge sitting downstairs.

Yes, there's a spot in the firewall. If you look up from straight under the pedals, you'll see a rubber grommet with a ton of wires running through it. Slit a hole to either side of the main hole, and run your wire through. You'll want to run RCAs on the other side.

Ground the amp to the seat belt bolt under the rear seats. Make sure it is making good contact with the chassis, and that you've cleaned and sanded away any paint or grime.

Nebster, why are you running 10 gauge wire on a Nine.2?
