i got two 12' rockford fosgate 1000watt 500rms at dual 4ohm and this amp. What type of wiring wires would i need? i have a jvc kdr 540 stereo. and how much would i be looking to spend?

I would get a 4 gauge wireing kit, brand doesn't really matter as long as it's good quality and is a true 4 guage kit. It would probably cost around 30-40$

Ok i would run 0 guage wires because you will be trying to run 120 amps through the wire and usually a four guage wire is 80 amps.. And on my 1100 watt brutus im using official copper speaker wire so i can get as much voltage as ican through the wire . But a complete zero guage wire should be fine speaker cables..

8 guage wire to run power from your battery to where you install it, inline fuse, some smaller guage wire to run the remote (12 volt accessory) turn on wire from the back of your stereo, also either RCA cable or speaker wire depending on whether your running low or high level inputs .... you can buy it separately or just get a 8 gauge sub/amp wiring kit and it will have everything you need

This should work with the mentioned rockford fosgate 1200x1 d amp. However if you are using this amp to power some subs the prime is rockfords lowest amp. I would suggest upgrading to the punch 1000x1bd amp you can get from best buy for a hundred dollars more or 200 more on amazon and will help tremendously.

Yes... With ease... Just ensure you run the wires in parallel. This is a mono (1 channel) amp. If you run Two 4 ohm speakers in series the R500X1D will run a 8 ohms. ... (R=Rockford) (500=watts) (X1=Channel) (D=Class D Amplifier)

Well Cody W. I'm not going to be much help on that. I haven't even looked at it. I got the kit to do a dual amp set up in a chevy xcab truck. So I'm sure I would have enough of wire but not sure about a car if it's a 4 door that is. I'm in the process of installing sound deadening though out the whole cab. Sorry couldn't be more help.

According to their website, this would be a good choice of power for the speakers. 75wrms @ 2Ohm for each speaker and 300wrms @ 2 ohm for the sub. Make sure that the sub is 2Ohm, though. When you receive the amp it will come with a QC sheet explaining each power rating. Just make sure you tune it properly and it will work well. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r600x5

Q: can you use this to power 4 6x9 speakers (150rms each at 4ohm) And how would you wire a high level imput into this amp? (stock head unit because they dont make an aftermarket one)A: You can buy the speaker line to RCA adapter to feed your speaker lines into the amp. I used an Audiocontrol LC6i in my setup but not necessary unless you want to add subwoofer and amps.I have a small amp for my speakers and one amp for this sub. 2ohms is how the shop I went to set it up. The amp I got was like $65 and it works great. I've had both for about 1.5-2 years now

Very loud with little wattage. They don't need but 150watts to each sub. Rockford Fosgate 500 2 channel amp is what I have pushing them. They will rock!!! I don't have them anymore sold car just left them in car. Down sized to 12" now Kenwood 12ps they are even louder without taking up my whole trunk.

I had this amp in a front end of a Harley driving 2 speakers bridged. (bridged means 2 channel, twice the power) It would not push the 2 speakers I had to what I like. I bought the Rockford Fosgate PBR300x4 (mainly for size) and this amp does the trick. Your better off having the power and toneing it down than pushing it and having it clip/distort.. For the $40-$50 dollars more, you cant go wrong!

Let me tell you this,in two ohms it puts out the power ... Four ohms if you just want it to be okay.. I have it running a 4 ohm 10. Inch rockfordfosge in a sealed box and it sounds good. I also have a dual 10 inch power bass and I ran it in two ohms in a sealed box and it hit real hard and low. But I'm not sll that into bass,I like to hear my highs and mids so I kept the fosgage in the trunk instead of the power bass.

Yes, I would suggest an amp. I bought a 5 channel amp with a sub out since this reciever has 5 channels out. It works great with Rockford Fosgate subs. Nice tuning abilities when you use an amp too.

Well didn't look up specs but if your running 2 subs I wouldn't overrun the subs rms too much. I wouldn't put more than 1200 watts on them. Over powering even though they are underrated certain songs like jeezy will burn your subs. I am running 2 jlaudio jx1000/1 awesome amp. I blew my obsidian 18 with that amp. So they are 900 watts at 12v I'm running them at 32 hertz. Loudest system I have had. I would run 1 Rockford to two if that is 1250. I also run two batteries for the two amps. I think that is making all the difference running rf 3sixty.2 whole car is dymatted. Do 4 sealed. With the two amps. These subs sound better sealed. 4 sealed on 5000 watts will sound better than 2 ported on 5000. I do prefer my 32 hertz box but you can really see what they can do sealed. Better sq. Although the sq is flawless anyway. Best subs ever man for the money. Will eat an idmax

dual 2 ohm and you can always download or go on Rockford fosgate website and can get a wiring diagram for x amount of subs and ohm load and it will tell you final ohm load

the amp should have a recommend wire gauge in the owners manual. this was more than enough for my 500 watt rms alpine amp

You could use 8g but the amp can only intake a 10g. I just bought a 10g Rockford wiring kit as it extends the warranty on the amp from what i understood. Its a great amp by the way. Just mount in a area where it will get.air as it gets hot.

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

I just used RCA 16 gauge speaker wire I got at Menards. Its heavy enough unless you have a long distance between the speakers and amp.
