    can you like the exact enclosure you purchased?

    Unfortunately, subwoofers don't work well in just any enclosure and these prefab enclosure tend to make a ton of compromises to deliver a product at the lowest price. If you have to go prefab I'd recommend sealed enclosures. 

    100% correct. Check the manual for the subs, and see what the recommended volume/tuning is for your drivers, and choose an enclosure accordingly. Rule of thumb, at least for myself, is that correct enclosure is imperative. You shouldn't have trouble finding an enclosure with specs that re at least very close to what you need. If you are under-powering, you can get away with going a little bigger as well.

    Myself, I would want to go to a larger cable for 150 amps.  I know there used to be a good length/current draw chart floating around.  Just can't remember where I saw it.

    I would suggest using at least 2 awg but then for the cost, may as well just run 0 awg.

    Appreciate the feedback. I was thinking the same thing, but just because it's already there, I might just add another run of 4 AWG. Save a buck or two.

    Alright guys, quick question. Maybe a stupid one, but I would appreciate some solid feedback.

    So, I am currently running an SAE-50.4 (2 ohms per channel) & an SAE-600D (1 ohm). The big 3 and all other power cable is 4AWG OFC, and I also have an XP750 AGM as my supplemental.

    I am going to be upgrading to an SAE-1000D v2 pretty soon, and I would like to know if my 4AWG is going to be enough to support the current required to run the system. I estimate the current load the cable can support, at the length of runs I have (10-12ft), is somewhere around 160-170A. As it stands, the maximum current draw will be 150A, worst case scenario.

    Should I spend more on power cable for this install, or should I be good pushing this power?
