I need some amp 101 training please. I've read the owner's manuals on JL's web site, but I want to know how you guys are doing it. Here's my plan so far for my Impreza:
JL 500/1 - Trunk, for JL 12w6v2 sub only
JL 300/4 - Under Passenger seat, bridging for MB Quart 150RMS front component only, no rears
Questions:
1. Mount the amps to the carpet with velcro, or screw them down into sheet metal?
2. Should I run a separate power cord from each amp to the battery? Or do I merge the power cords from each amp into one power cord to the battery?
3. Do I have to use a "distribution block?"
4. Any tips on fuses?
5. For this total of 800 watts, is 4 guage power good enough?
Thanks for any feedback.
