[QUOTE="sullirock, post: 6681203, member: 619290"] Yeah, I'm seriously considering the[B][COLOR=Blue] MB Quart DSC 480[/COLOR][/B]. For a 4-speaker MB Quart setup consisting of [B][COLOR=Red]MB Quart DSH 216[/COLOR][/B] components and [B][COLOR=SeaGreen]MB Quart DKG 116 [/COLOR][/B]rear speakers. As well as putting in two [B][COLOR=Purple]Rockford Fosgate P3D212[/COLOR][/B] subs. And, of course, a second and third amp to power them independently. But here is the issue: the power coming from all of this is well over 1000W RMS. The MB Quart DSC 480 only allows a 4-gauge power wire. Reading up, I found that if I have a system with more than 1000W (don't know if they meant RMS or Peak), I need a 0/1 gauge amplifier power wire. I like the MBQDSC480. Will I have to change my choice of amp?? Not to mention, I don't even know what amps to buy for the subs?! Tough decisions.....
