When setting amp gain and listening for distortion am I just listening for hissing in the background, like static? Or is there other distortion I should be listening for? I am new to this and have never set an amp before sorry if this question sounds really dumb.

Well I know you said nothing expensive, but I would still consider this (or one of there other products). I have had this for a year or so and it is great. You use the computer to program it and you can just hit a task button such as watch tv, or play xbox 360 and it will turn on all the...

There's no danger in using to thick a gauge correct, it's just more difficult to install?

Oh I know what gauge to buy, I'm just looking for brand recommendations.

I want to rewire my speakers but I don't know what speaker wire to buy. Could someone recommend the best kind to buy?

Thanks a lot for the quick response.

The amp I'm buying has a fuse rating of 25 x 2. Does this mean I need a 50 amp fuse or two 25 amp fuses?

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7961_Alpine+MRA-F350.html I have an Alpine 9885 HU, if I was to add something like this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-H5bz8AqAAAF/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=62900&tab=review&i=500SBS05DC#Tab Along with my 4 JBL speakers would I be able to use the...

I believe it means that when you buy an amp wiring kit it has to have a fuse of at least 50 amps. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I've read that when installing a 4 channel amp you need 2 patch cables, does this kit include everything I need because I was under the impression that I would need to buy a second cable separate. If I do have to buy a separate patch cable does it have to be the same brand or will a different...

Anyone able to answer my other questions?

Like this: http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17415 On Crutchfields website it says when runningamps in 4 channel mode you need two patch cables. So do I need to buy another patch cable with this also? Also the Crutchfield website says the amp comes with a...

Hey I'm going to be getting this amp also, could you tell me what wiring kit you used and where you got it. I've never installed an amp before and I'm having a little trouble figuring out the wiring kits. I've heard really good things about that amp though.

How about this: Autotek MM8000.5 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18182 Is this better than the Hifonics? And will it overheat?

How would I know though if I was sending to much power to the speakers. For example since you said I can use 70rms I was considering this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-39zxd4gqMA2/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=120&tab=detailed_info&i=500MRPF450#Tab Would I just turn the volume up until I hear...
