Ok... bad news, I just checked under the hook of my truck, and it's actually 10 gauge wire comming off of the battery to the amp. So... would I definetly have to change my wire now that its 10 gauge and not 8?

it would probably be better to up grade the guage yes

Ghetto style baby !

I was really supprised that the 40 watts rms per channel jensen actually puts out sound through the woofers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif Right now im following some "break-in" rules that crutchfield suggested that I follow. They said I should play the subs at a low volume for 20 hours total so they last longer and preform better. What is your input(s) on this? BS or good rule to follow?

B.S

But you should be gentle for a few hours, no 1Kw burps

One more question... since my amp is pretty low watts, and the subs rms range is 50-150, would it hurt the sub cranking it up pretty loud , or would it just most likely cause the amp to over heat?
