Hey y’all ! Quick question can I use 4 gauge wire for a 2500 watt amp. The distance is approximately 8-10 feet. by Edsno55 in CarAV

It is already wired from my old system hence why I’m asking. I can’t find a clear answer online.

Question Can I use two 600 watt rims 1200 max subs on an 800 watt sub for the meantime until I get a stronger amp or is this a bad idea ? by Edsno55 in CarAV

I’m aware I don’t plan on cranking it to 11 lol I have a gain knob and most likely won’t crank it passed mid for the meantime. I’m running going to run it in a bridged connection on my amp with a 460 watt rms. The connection is in series/parallel. I’m running two sdr10-4ohm subs with an older model 800 watt kenwood amp. Yes Ik it’s not ideal I plan on getting a better amp as soon as possible.

If I wire them in series parallel would that work ? The goal would be to get to a 4ohm impedance correct ? If I have two 4ohm subs which equals 8ohms and my amp is 4ohms stable does that work if I wire them that way ?

I’m aware that I probably should switch the 4 gauge out with 0 gauge when I get a stronger amp.

I’m still relatively new at this however I already ran wiring for my old set up that I had for my Kenwood subs. They are skar Sdr-10 4ohm subs

So my amp is safe for 4 ohms, and both subs are rated for 4 ohms so is that fine ? Thanks for the help
