Request the RX8 Club Approval

Alright, after looking around ebay for a while I narrowed my search to the following:

Subs
Box
Amp 1
Amp 2

You may of noticed there are two amps there, basically because im not sure if I should stick with that 400W one or try the more powerful one. As you can tell I have never installed an amp before so bare with me.

Anyways, does this for the most part look decent? And where do I research the necessary wires I will need for installation?

Thanks

Gives it a nice clean look. Where are you mounting the amps? You are going to need a Line Out Converter so the amp can receive sound from the radio.

Get the more powerful amp definatly but DO NOT get a refurbished one.

Other than that everything looks good.. just do alot of research on here and make sure you have everything you need before you start.

look at the recomended power for the subs 250 watts RMS. if you run two subs you will go to 2 ohm load and split the power between the subs. so you want an amp that puts out 500 watts class D at 2 ohms.

I believe it is. If the person on ebay has ALOT positive feedback and little to none negative then i shouldnt matter. Definately do your research on here and feel free to ask questions. This stuff aint too tough.
