Moofs Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm gonna be putting in 4 channel amp and a 10 inch sub in my 94 corolla. The amp is gonna have 2 channels to the front speakers and the other 2 channels bridged to run the single 10 inch sub. The amp makes 50 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms and 150 watts RMS x 2 in bridged mode (4-ohm stable in bridged mode). This just matches the sub which has a power range of 50-150 watts RMS. I called crutch field to ask about my setup and they said it all looks good but I could even go with the 8g wiring kit instead of the 4. If I can reliably do that I'd like to b/c it would save me 20$. What do you think? Get the 8g or is the 4g a must?

bassHZ Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 just go with the 4 gauge is worth it for future upgrades and less resistance .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moofs Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thanks guys, but i see you mention upgrades. I should mention this. I WILL NOT be upgrading after this. At least not this car. I will be doing a stereo install for my next car but I'd get different parts, amp, sub, etc. and prob sell these parts separate or with the car. And that wont be for like another two years. So for this setup I wont upgrade anything else. Would you still suggest the 4g kit? btw, I'm getting an amp kit, sub, box and amp. What else do I need for the install technically? I hear I need extra speaker wire for the front speakers and also now I apparently also need stereo patch cables? Is this true? What else will I need...and if so, how much of it?! I don't wanna forget something major for the install. This is the amp kit http://www.crutchfield.com/p_142PA8/EFX-8-gauge-Amplifier-Wiring-Kit.html?tp=635 I see a patch cable in the kit but will I need a 2nd one since it's a 4 channel?

Harm Sikkenga Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 ide say get the 4g but it's your money lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moofs Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 ide say get the 4g but it's your money lol yeah im leaning towards the 8g since it's less $. I mean since i wont be upgrading the system any more than this. I'm only concerned if the 8g could be too small and cause something possibly to break. I mean I usually just listen at normal volume levels, and never "show off" with my system.

blackrosetiger Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Save $20 or burn down your ride hmmm unless you want the potental of burning down your ride go with the 4ga. I find it too risky to go any smaller. Don't think it can happen?
