[QUOTE="sotelomichael, post: 5168410, member: 603000"] Hello everyone, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about car audio because I'm in the middle of getting a new system for my car. Let me begin by letting you guys know that I'm very much ready to listen, and see what my options are, and I'll let you guys in on what my current setup is, and what I would need to do to get it up and running. First off, I will be purchasing 4 of these [URL="http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19647"]MB Quart DSH216s[/URL] and I have already purchased an [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/MB-QUART-PAB4100-4-CH-300W-RMS-AMPLIFIER-PAB-NEW_W0QQitemZ120322006196QQihZ002QQcategoryZ18795QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]MB Quart 4100 amp[/URL] from another member to power the components up. And the amp install kit for this is the [URL="http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-AK44"]knukonceptz kolossus 4 channel 4 gauge amp kit[/URL]. Now on to the sub, I'm thinking of purchasing this [URL="http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18534"]infinity kappa 122.7w[/URL] speaker and pair it up with this [URL="http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17200"]Orion 300D mono amp[/URL]. This is where the 1ohm question comes in, I will be replacing the battery, with a newer one for the car (nissan sentra 1.8s) and I'd like to know what kind of wiring would I need to get these 2 amps setups up and running. I read somewhere that I would need to get 2 guage wire and use a distribution block and split it into 2, 4 gauge outputs, is this correct? OR would I need to purchase another 4 gauge wire and connect it along with the other 4 gauge wire on the battery? Will running 1ohm be very disruptive opposed to running 4 ohms on the mb quart amp? (assuming they are both feeding off of the same 2 gauge wire) or would I be ok if I used 2, 4 gauge power wiring to each of the amps? Thanks for your time guys, I hope you all can answer some of these questions [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
