Hello, I have 2 MTX R/T 12-04 subs. RMS is 200W and ohm is 4. I bought a Phoenix digital 1200W 2 channel amp jsut in case I need to upgrade subs in the future, but I don't know what kind of wiring kit I need. Does it have to be Phoenix? Can I use 10 gauge because of the subs or should I go with 4 gauge. Any help would be great |

I think you can use 4 gauge wire unless that PG amp puts out 1200W RMS and you do upgrade the subs. In that case you'd need to rewire the entire car with 2 gauge wiring. So I suggest you go the extra mile now and get the 2 gauge wiring. |

phoenix digital.
not phoenix gold.
it's another "similar name, lesser quality" company like Kole Audio, and Rockwood.
(trying to sound like Kove and Kenwood or Rockford) or Sound Storm trying to sound like Soundstream.
14ga for speaker wire is good.
4ga for power and ground.

Ok, so not true 1400W RMS. Glass, what's Kole's name similar to? |

Kove Audio.
they make some pretty high end speakers.
not very common but very nice stuff. Similar to Treo in rarity and performance.
