4-gauge power and ground wiring is required for installation. Contact us for information regarding a discount on select amplifier kits when purchased together with this amplifier.
The reason the manu. locates the power and RCA's on opposite sides is for a particular reason. The reason being that the power wire 12V DC is a square wave and the wave or alternation between cycles changes from an upper voltage ( being RMS or Vp-p ) to an level voltage ( being 0V reference regardless ) so the RCA's can pick up what we like to call an loop interruption ( Ground Loop Noise ) what happens is that you will be able to hear a high freq. ( high Pitch ) Noise through the speakers caused by either the amp or miss-routing of cables. having the RCA's routed on the same side of the vehicle as the power cables ( Remote/ on-off, or/both supply 12V ). the best advice to give is always route the RCA's on the opposite side of the vehicle in reference to the power and/or the remote wires. This method will not allow ( depending upon grnd. reference) a noise to build and be heard through the speakers. always remember as a mind reference tool power on one and sound on the other.

Review written by CHETA from eastern, oregon
I bought this amp for a buddy that wanted to upgrade his stock speakers. I have it run to pioneers 5x8s up front and pioneer 6x9s in the rear, and wow this little amp does a perfect job. Nice and clear with no distortion. puts out plenty of power with plenty to spare. I highly recomend this amp. The only thing that i dont like about the amp is; the amp preouts are on the opposite side from the power ground. it makes it a little akward tho tuck the wires away. But what do you do. Its a great amp and well worth the money.
Sonic Electronix was great! I was skeptical at first... their prices were pretty low, so I thought I would be sacrificing service or quality because of that. When I got my car stereo and everything that they said they would include with it, I was very satisfied! I will definitely be back. Thanks!
