    I need some Help! What Gauge Wire Should I Use?

    I would suggest 4 ga as well, that way if you ever want to run another amp in the setup, the wire is already there and you wont have to install another run.

    Here are the pics of my astro for you guys!

    In my sponsorship, they picked up amplifiers and wiring for me, thats it. Which is plenty for me. as for the 163.0 thats on the all new sensor. It will do a 171.3 on the standard audiocontrol mic thats been used for years.

    You sure that those woofers come in dual 2 ohm, b/c if I remember right they only come in dual 4 and single 4, but anyways if you run 2 of the single 4's the 600d will be good, but those woofers will want alot more power. You could easily get the dual 4's and run a 1000d on the pair. But again...
