[QUOTE="jjp2323, post: 8827960, member: 687992"] I dont plan on upgrading more in the future I already know Ill be more than happy with this. Unless there is any harm that can be done I think ill go with 4 guage wire since it can handle roughly 815 watts RMS. I plan on having the amp mounted the the back of the rear seat next to the sub so I should only need 11-14 feet to be safe.(car is 13.5 feet in total and battery is located in back of the engine bay) On the honda forms everyone is telling me for that amount of power the stock battery and alternator will be just fine, one of the guys said he was running twice the power on the factory battery size and factory alternator, so I dont think ill need to upgrade those atm. For a fuse should I get an ANL or ANG fuse? the one im thinking about is listed below it is for 4 - 8 gauge wire. Also I assume the closer the fuse is to the battery the better? And I assume I should get an 80 watt fuse, but would a 60 watt protect it better but it would burn out without being turned up as high? I havent checked out mono amps and dont understand how they are different, I was just planning on going with a 2 channel amp but is there any pros for the mono?
