Okay, guys. Been trying to puzzle this one out for abit, but I think I've got it all done, so I'll go ahead and post what I have here, and please let me know if this'll all run together.

Okay, so I purchased a Hifonics Brutis BXI606 Amplifier ( http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-BXI606-...QQcmdZViewItem ). To go along with it, is a JL Audio10W3v2-D4 ( http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_s...p?series_id=11 ). So, since it is a 4ohm dual coil, i'm wiring them together at the 2-ohm 300w setting. I've gone ahead and bought a 4 gauge amp wiring kit for it as well. That should all fit together correctly, as far as I'm concerned. Now then, this is where it perhaps gets more tricky.

I am currently working with a Sony CDXGT210 head unit ( http://www.crutchfield.com/S-PAA0px6...i=158GT210#Tab ). As you can see, it has no RCA outputs, so I've put in for a cheapy converter (should connect to the rear speakers to RCA) that I found on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...3270&rd=1&rd=1 . The sound, of course, won't be that great, but it'll do until I have enough to buy a better head unit in a month or two, I think.

Now, the questions that I currently have:

1) Will this setup work for now, and still sound decent?
2) What wire should I use for the amp to the sub to handle that? 10gauge or 12?
3) Will the amp still be sufficient to handle another JL 10W3v2 if I decide to add another?

Thank you in advance!

 

firstly... ever after market cd player comes with an RCA... also your amo will not power those woofers at all

 

Um, no it doesn't. Did you even look at the page posted for the HU? And why wouldn't the amp power it? Also important to note that my speakers are currently running through the factory amp, and I'm hoping to leave them that way. Possible still?

 

1. Yes it will work. It will sound ok, but I would really suggest getting a new hu in the future as you plan on doing. (Fronts should be upgraded first, but I understand newb bassheads)

2. If your going for cheap, but the 8 guage kit from wal-mart plenty of wire size for a great price.

3. The amp would power another sub, but you would have to raise your impedence above 2 ohms. I have got a hifonics a little hot (it caught on fire) and would not run them below recommended impedence. I would leave 2 subs on the amp and if you want more volume, build a ported box.
