Its not good to under power a sub. alpines can handle more then they say. you should get a higher rated amp so it doesn't strain to keep up with your sub, if your worried about overheating.

sorry if you saw my post b4 the edit. your diagram confused me and i ddnt see the jumper cable.

i figured i'm pushing the amp pretty hard. eventually i wanna throw another 10 in the mix and then switch to a better amp but that won't be until sometime down the road so this amp will have to do for now, no since in buying another amp........well there are always reasons to buy another amp provided its working........

come on man, why would it hurt to underpower a sub.

also if ur gonna change to 4 gauge, u gotta do both power and ground, cant do one or the other

don't have enough wire to do both unless i find way to hook up the 2/0 gauge to the power and 4 gauge for the ground. but then again i could just go to the local audio store, not bb or cc but locally owned and operated, and get some more 4 gauge but i just used the money i could have used for that on a couple of piezo sirens
