I would get this wiring kit-

Monster® High-Performance 1000-Watt Multi-Amp Connection Kit

Monster® High-Performance 1000-Watt Multi-Amp Connection Kit - RadioShack.com

Its a name brand at about the same price, and the wire is 4ga instead of the 8ga of the kit you posted.

i would agree with both of these. audiopipe makes decent amps for a great price, just an option.

why not that amp? i know its not one of the big name one's, but is there some other reason? not the watt's i need ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

some amps may say 1000 or 2000 watts max, doesnt mean it will do that. little rule of thumb (for the amps that have the fuses) for every 10 amps of a fuse will be equivalent to 100 watts of power. example. it looks as if that boss holds one 25 amp fuse, so you can expect around 250 watts out of it. some amps dont have the fuse already and will require an external fuse, in which the manual will show what size fuse you would need.

NEW AUDIOPIPE 1000W AMP 2 CHAN CAR AMPLIFIER +BASS KNOB - eBay (item 370227979366 end time Feb-05-10 17:38:46 PST)

just an example of something different you could run with getting better results. i dont think your amp had shipping included so both amps will be close to the same price range. and for that matter, there is always the audiopipe 1500 that goes for about 20 or 30 bucks more.

 

[peterweiner]

after lookin at your sub specs again, the 1000 would be plenty.

so the Bridge 1 Channel: 300W x 1 @ 4 Ohms bridged (RMS) would work with the 400w's i need to rms the 2 12's ?

absolutely. 2 dual 4 ohm subs like yours can be ran at 4 ohms bridged which will pull full potential out of that amp. i think its a pretty good fit actually, but opinions do vary. im saying it will sound a lot better then that boss though. no offense, just tellin ya.

 

[Pug}{maN 10+ year member]

so the quality of the audiopipe is lots better then the boss. thats fine. like i sead im new to the new stuff, last stuff i ran was in the early 90's, had a RF punch 150 to 2 vegas ! lol... this is for the wife in her car.

so all else is good to go, just need the audiopipe amp......

pretty much so. if you can get 4 gauge instead of 8 for the same price, i would highly suggest that as well. everything else seems to be pretty legit. good luck with the install.
