Hey guru,
The Alpine site states:
RMS Power (at 14.4V THD+N, 20-200Hz)
Per channel into 4 ohms: 300W x 1 (0.08% THD)
Per channel into 2 ohms: 500W x 1
OK I am using one 4 OHM sub
So the RMS power is 300W not the peak ... 300 is the RMS from their site. This thing really is pounding yes I know the whole deal with dealers saying boosting the PEAK when in reality the real beans is the RMS wattage with a low THD.
And they say 300W at 0.08 THD... correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 0.08% THD a pretty low distortion level?
so now we have 300W / 14.4V = 20 AMP ...
Either way the sound is to my liking as to me it has a good quality pound (i'm no audiophile)
I have to Subs so I could always wire them as a 2OHM load I guess.
Back to the question...:
What gauge would you recommend from AMP to SUB?
I'd rather just go over-kill on the gauge then under and potentially be unsafe..
