i'd wire the subs at 4ohm, and personally would get 4ga. always better safe then sorry and since 4ga kits are really cheap might as well.

RMS Power (4 ohms): 600 watts x 1 chan.RMS Power (2 ohms): 600 watts x 1 chan.

RMS Power (1 ohm): 600 watts x 1 chan.

why thats odd.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

anyways... wire it to 1 ohm... 8 ga wire is fine as that amp only has a 60amp fuse

No.

Wire to 4ohms. At 1ohm the amp is going to pull more power out of the electrical system. Why even wire that low if you have the opportunity to wire to a more efficient load?

I would also get a 4awg kit.
