Buying an Epicenter?

[Jer510 10+ year member]

I have a Kicker 12 inch CVR 800 watt sub, Quantum Audio 1000 watt amp. I am using a 8 gauge wire. I'm thinking of changing it to 4 gauge wire. Should I change to the 4 gauge wire or add an epicenter to get more bass? Thanks..

epicenter is better for rock music and radio. it takes higher freqs and plays them as lower freqs. and the bigger wire isnt going to make it sound any louder. you might gain a few tenths on the meter at best.

If thats the QSA1000d, i'd throw some four gauge on it. But at 500rms, I don't think you want an Epicenter but rather more power, and perhaps the added efficiency of a class D amplifier.

I have an epic-160, I unhooked the rca's and just use it for the db and volt meter. I didn't think that bass injection system they had was to good. Every now and then a loud boom and your like crap I hope that didn't blow any thing.

I'm not talking about the Sonic Properties stigma.

I'm talking about Efficiency. Class AB is less efficient than D for a sub application.
