[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8793744, member: 614752"] Correct. Bear in mind Planet Audio is one of those brands that will NOT make rated power but if you buy an honestly rated 400W woofer that would be a good match. It is usually a bad idea to try to over-fuse. If you find yourself continually opening the 25A fuse you may reconsider but it shouldn't come to that. Consider the cost between #8 and #4 cable. Spending up to #4 will buy you flexibility to upgrade down the road if that amp isn't cutting it for you and larger wire will typically have thicker insulation and be more resistant to failure from wear and tear. Most people here would recommend over-sizing power and ground cables if possible, the only drawback is size/weight/cost so if you can afford that, the bigger the better. [/QUOTE]
