    will an 8 gauge power wire be enough?

    its a 60A fuse.. thats what came with the kit. so u guys think 8 gauge power should be fine? what about speaker wire? 12ga? 14 ga? also when im adjusting the gain, should the sub volume on my alpine deck be @ 15 (max) ? and also what about the bass boost (0-18) on the amp?

    What should i set the crossover to?

    When you say bass boost are you talking about the 0-18db boost on the amp of the 1-15 setting on the alpine head unit? sorry i just wanna make sure i get this right.

    What should i set the crossover to?

    The profile cl600m only seems to have 2 options for subsonic filter: 20hz and 50 hz. The box is custom built exactly to kicker specifications for vented box. Also, when im adjusting the gain, should my alpine head unit bass level be at 0? 15? somehwere in between?

    Need a good store for sub

    I've heard the cvr 12 in a medium sized sealed box and it sounded awesome, so i figured u couldnt go wrong with a 15? i dont really have a massive budget. I dont want to spend more than $140 for one sub.

    I kno theres a lot of talk but im buyin so: vote: Kicker CVR15 or L5 10" (1sub)

    So, for one sub, what would you all recommend between a single 10" L5 or a 15" CVR. My amp is a profile CL600M 450rms x 1 @2ohm.
