Hello everyone, I am pretty new to installing subs and amps so Im looking to make sure I am going in the right direction and am not forgetting anything I need.
This set up is going into my 1992 civic vx(EG hatch), I have a JL 13W3v3 4ohm 600 watt subwoofer and a stage 2 box for it both linked down below. i also have am buying either an 800 (200RMSx2) or 600 (150RMSx2) watt amp tomorrow from Rockford Fosgate (linked below as well) From my research and what my friends tell me an amp with higher watts is ok to run with a smaller woofer as long as you dont turn it up all the way because thats where damage can happen. Is this true or sound a amp with the same watts as the sub just always be better?
So now that I have those from my knowledge all I would need is a wiring harness for my stereo, RCA wires that run from the stock stereo harness to the amp, power wire/cable for the battery to the amp as well as a ground wire also. Speaker wire for wiring the sub to the amp and Id need speed wire to run from the amp back to the stereos after market harness. Im sure I will need to upgrade my alternator and get a larger battery, would I need to upgrade any wires under the hood as well?
Thank you to everyone who's taken the time to read this and can confirm that I am getting everything I need and/or help me out in any way.
Also I plan on doing a very quality job and only want to buy quality parts, if anyone has suggestions on what brands to get for the rest of the things I have listed or what gauge wire ill need that'd be super appreciated.
