Audiopipe is a fairly new company to the car audio world. You should check out their amps, they're no joke. Small, huge legit power and cheap. I have 2 Audiopipe APSM1500s, got them for like 225 shipped for both. I've seen videos on YouTube that clamped, at 4 ohms they do like 2280 watts or something like that.

As for wire, I have always used Tsunami, it's actually the size it says. It's a little more expensive, but well worth the money. I saw somewhere you can get Knu wire for around 1.79 a foot. That's what I plan on using this spring when I upgrade my stereo.

I can promise those amps won't do more than rated.

Audiopipe is garbage....they dont do rated power at all.

As for wiring...I would suggest straying away from ebay at all costs...I deal with SHOK wire which is some of the best out right now.

That's what just came in. Got some nice 0 awg from Knu. This crap is thick. I'm having a hard time finding ring terminals for the ends of the wire. I need just two more terminals. Already bought 4 off eBay. Anywhere in store I can find them? I need a 0 gauge 3/8 ring terminal and a 0 gauge 5/16 ring terminal.

Sweet. I'll probably check there Wednesday. I'm guessing they are in the welding section instead of the electrical section?

tibby,home depot has them i believe. I know over in the electrical section (at the wirenuts,terminals etc) they have some for 4 gauge but i bet they have some at the welding supply.

I just removed a bunch of the stuff. No. 4 with red insulation and gold plated fuse holder. You can have it. What in gods name are you hooking it up to ? You could start your Blazer with a 4 gauge cable.
