[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8864557, member: 689267"] First of all, based on the fuse rating of 120 amps, at 14.4v at 65-70% efficiency is going to produce about 275 to 300 wats x 4 channels. I'm always suspect when the manufacturer does not list the actual RMS ratings, it's kind of a dead give away. Class a/B amplifiers are not nearly as efficient as a class D, so 70% would be generous unless I'm missing something. It also does not stipulate if it is 2 ohm stable. I would assume so as it does state that it puts out 1300 watts stereo which would be the four channels bridged to two channels at 4ohms. Your speakers are 4 ohms each, you can run them to each channels and expect around 250-300 watts to each. You could get 4 more and run four pairs at each corner at 2 ohms parallel. You can't run two on each side and run the amp bridged, it's not stable at two ohms bridged, only four ohms bridged so only a single midper channel bridged. As for wiring, 12-16 gauge runs up to 15 feet should be fine, preferably 14awg. [/QUOTE]
