Power disitib. opinions

What company makes a good power dist. that has at least two outputs. I'm looking to stay under 20.00.

I am currently running 4 gauge power wire, so would I go 4/0 or 4/8?

I used kicker but seen lots of stingers around

For the price, which in your opinion is the better buy?

Thanks.

I would go with the 4 gauge in, to 2, 3 or however many outputs you need. Really don't see a reason to step down to 8 gauge unless that's the size of your amps power input.

kicker may be a little cheaper than the stinger, not for sure though.

One mono 600@2ohms. JBL GT 75x2@4ohms.

you already have the amps? what size are the power inputs?

I can fit 4g in the JBL, but the Alpine only accepts 8g which is very ghey

I'm looking at the new Kicker line with great interest.

well, if you already have it, and it will supply the power you need, use it. Some dist. blocks can be 4 or 8 gauge with the supplied, removable, reducer.

I see in your sig that you own Kicker amps.

How do the new models stack up? I really like the 500.1

Kicker makes a **** good amp, imo, and are underrated as well. The new 500.1 looks to be a solid option, depending on @ what ohm you need your power. (ie 500.1 is 2 ohm stable). The birth sheet is probably somewhere in the ballpark of 600+ wrms.

2ohms to power a 12 Se in 2cubes@32hz.

The alpine just does not do it for me. It does put out lots of clean power for such a small footprint.

maybe time for a sub upgrade? maybe 2? the alpine is a pretty stout amp too, and 600 watts is 600 watts (when you're talkin true power). Probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference switching between the two.

that se probably wouldn't mind 750 rms, if you're not too gain happy...

Not looking to get louder...I love my se. It's just that kicker is so **** sexy to me.
