[QUOTE="2023 LTZ, post: 8827914, member: 686684"] I think having an amp 10% on either side of the rms sub wattage is ideal. Opinions vary, some may say go double the sub wattage to have overhead or room to upgrade if chosen down the rd. Be sure the amp can handle the ohm load of your sub. Why don’t you get a mono amp that’s 600-1000w? Rockford has a reasonably priced 750w. $349 I can’t offer any advice on wire harnesses. You’ll need a power wire from battery to the amp. A fuse about 12”-18” after battery, weather resistant is good. If the amp requires 4ga you have a choice to run that size all the way or run larger then reduce down near the amp. Always use the same size power and ground. A solid ground in the back that’s directly to a chassis location. Rca or signal wires to feed the amp, your remote turn on, as you mentioned. the big 3 is almost a necessity in audio upgrades. Alternator, battery can come later if needed. [/QUOTE]
