November 17, 201014 yr Author So ur saying, es it is too much power but do it anyways? Haha. What do you mean by headroom? I jus don't wanna blow them.
November 17, 201014 yr Author It's RATED to be double RMS if you bridge, you have a lot of control over how much power the speakers actually see.So if I were to run t bridged, then I would be ok as long as im gentle on the gain?

I mean, if the gain knob is the.onlly thing that could blow them... then as long as I don't turn it up too far, I wil be ok bridged right? If not...what other factors play into the czhance of blowing them?
November 17, 201014 yr Author Gains too high and/or getting nutty with the volume knobOk. Gotchya. So if I do decide to not bridge them, ca I leave the 2 other chNnealS unused without problems?

November 17, 201014 yr Author Awesome. I will buy the 8ga amp kit from Knu later today. When everything gets here...expect alot of questions about install. Thanks everyone. -Jonathan
November 17, 201014 yr I say leave the speakers(rears) run them off the other 2 chans and you will definitely be able to hear them....You will notice the difference without the rear speakers when your cruising with the sub low.
November 17, 201014 yr Author I was kinda thinkin the same thing. I mean...s especially if those 2 channels will just be sitting there not being used. And if I decide I don't hear them much, then I can always take em out later.

November 18, 201014 yr Author thanks for all the responses. so im about to oreder the amp kit from KnuConcepts. it comes with one set of RCAs. i will need another set in order to run all 4 channels right?thanks
November 18, 201014 yr yes you would need the 4 channel RCA's...and Y splitters if your deck don't have 3 outputs.
November 18, 201014 yr Author yes you would need the 4 channel RCA's...and Y splitters if your deck don't have 3 outputs.my HU has rear, front, and sub outputs. so since the kit comes with one set of RCAs... i just need to buy one more right? also, i should go ahead and buy more speaker wire right? the kit comes with 12ga . so just get more of that? also, can i use 12ga for my subs when i get them in?...i think ill get like 30 ft. just to be safe.

November 18, 201014 yr Author 16ga for speakers and 12ga for subs...30 Ft should be more than sufficient.well, it turns out they have only 21 ft in stock...think tht might be cutting it close?
November 18, 201014 yr That isn't enough. i just put 40 feet of 14 gauge in my CRX, (4 ~10 foot runs) and it was BARELY enough. i would wait 'till they have more in stock of what you want. or buy somewhere else.

Ok... any other suggested places for oxygen free copper at .25$ per foot or cheaper?
November 18, 201014 yr Author So...I called knukoncepts and they said there was about three 0's missing on how much wire they had. So they have about 21000 feet. Not 21. Haha. Ordering wire tonight.

Ordering wire tonight.OH! heads up before you order. if they are advertising the klarity RCAs, you wont get them. make sure they have changed the add to show you're going to be getting eKo RCAs. That happened to me when i ordered the 4 gauge 4 channel kit from them. they said the klarity kables are being remade for 2011. This may have changed, if it has so quick im going to be pissed and give them a call...
November 18, 201014 yr If you're going to get THIS kit you're going to need another RCA anyways, you know this though
