how many channels is the amplifier, and what's the voice coil configureation/impedance of the subs?
(sorry I'm tired today. too lazy to go look them up. bad me.)

Well I figured that I'll have each sub at a 2 Ohm load seince my amp will pump 450w RMS each, well its better than 250w@4 ohms... but damn im short changing my sub's... they goto 1,100w RMS... so now am i going to need another amp? Seince it could pump 900w rms @ 2 ohms for both but hell thats more money id like in a car i might leave alone on the street... but anyone else have another idea that i could feed my subs the power they need??? |

into the in-line fuse holder that goes about 18" from the battery positive terminal on the main power line (4AWG).
you need to fuse the main power line with a fuse rated for equal to, or just slightly higher than the total draw of the amplifiers connected to that line.
The JBL BP1200.1 draws a max of 110A, so that 100A fuse should be just fine.

150A is a bit large for that amplifier unless you have another amp on the same power line as well.
4AWG cable is rated for a max of 150A anyway. more than that and you need to go up to 2AWG.
same applies depending on length of the run

is there a big difference in quality b/t brands of amp kits if they r the same gauge?
u usually have to buy the rca line separate from the amp kit right? |

The kit looks decent but I see they have some better RCA's available. Im running all JBL stuff, BP1200.1 ect. Would buying the more expensive RCA's enhance the sound? Or will the kit be more then enough |

those RCAs are twisted pair. they'll be fine.
you will want to also buy two of the Y-splitters from that site though (2M-1F) for use with that 1200.1 for the RCA inputs.
it has inputs for front and rear channels, and works best when all four inputs get signal.
you'll see what I mean when you hook it up.
