    Amp 4 2 10 W0's

    I am trying to find a good amp for my friend. I am going to sell him a pair of spare 10 W0's and I am not sure what a good cheaper amp would be for that.

    MDF vs Other

    I building a box and i found a couple of other woods that are a hell of a lot cheaper than MDF and i was wondering if cutting costs by buying some fiber board or anything like that would be worth it.

    Wiring a CDA 9830

    I've heard that with some models that some head units require a 10 guage wire going directly to the battery. So does anyone know if i should use the stock wires and run the power through those or if I should run the 10 guage to the battery.
