I have an Alpine MRP-M500 amp, and I used 6 gauge power wire. It is too big to screw the wire into the connection terminals of the amp, as the terminals are only about 1/4" wide. Where could I find 1/4" crimp on fork connectors that would fit my wire?

Would you go any lower on the price? I'm really short on money right now but I need an amp for my subs.

OK thanks, I'll order one

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with an Infinity Gold sound system, so it doesn't have rca outputs anywhere. I spliced an RCA cable to the back speakers wires so I have a left and right to connect to my amp for my subs, so I don't need a LOC, right? Like it won't hurt anything by doing it this way?

Yea, I figured it was probably from being wired 2 ohm, I got the amp free and I was planning on getting a new one anyway.

I had a cheap SSL 300 watt max amp, I believe it was 100 watts rms, powering two 12 inch subs that are 300 watts rms each. So 600 watts rms from the sub, but the amp could only provide 100 watts rms, and I had it bridged and running 2 ohms, and the amp burnt out, literally with smoke. I...

Alright, I'll think about it that's a good deal and I know I'll be getting good wire. Thanks

I am looking to get some 4 gauge wire for my amp, I looked at auto value because its the only place in my town that sells it, and they wanted almost $3 a foot, does anywhere like home depot have good wire for cheaper? I'm going to stay away from the kits that are cheap because they all say you...

Would a Sony Xplod 1000 watt amp work good for these subs?

I am looking at getting the sony xplod 1000 watt amp model no. Xplod XM-1652Z, but I can't find the RMS rating anywhere, if anyone knows I would really appreciate it! I know it isn't the best amp so don't tell me not to get it, I know it isn't a real good amp, I just need something to power my...

Well, I ended up buying them, and I think they sound pretty good, I'm using a cheap SSL 100 watt rms amp, and they really hit, I'm going to get a different amp though.

Thanks for all the replies, I might see if the guy has them hooked up so I can hear how they sound, but I'm not sire what I'll get yet.

Pretty cheap haha I'm only 16 so I can't afford a lot, OK I'll check it out thanks

OK, what would be a good cheep setup?

OK, now I'm using an $20 pyramid 8 inch sub and its definitely not amazing by any means, but it actually sounds decent, but again, its not even close to mtx or alpine subs, I'll probably end up getting it and using g it for now, until I can afford something better. What is a cheap 600w RMS amp?
