Hey guys, I'm looking at picking up this amp + sub combo for my car.
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_36500_1000W-Alpine-Rockford-Fosgate-Bass-Bundle.html

It includes a 8" Alpine SWR-823D type R sub
Rockford Fosgate PBR300X1 amp
and a 10 gauge complete amp installation kit

It's gonna be installed in a stealthbox i made that goes where the jack currently sits

I just wanted to get some opinions on how this set up would sound and whether or not this wiring kit would be sufficient

Would I need to get anything else for my install?

I'm not commited to buying this set up yet but feel free to recommend other 8" sub + amp combos

Thanks

Should sound pretty good. Only thing is you might need more speaker wiring (16 Gauge IIRC) since you have a hatch, and it's easier to tap into the wiring directly behind the headunit instead of going to the door speakers.

And also, using this amp, would I need to get a LOC?

Nope, looks like it has high level input so you don't need a LOC.

It says you'll also need a:

10 gauge power and ground wiring is required for installation.

17 ft. of 10 AWG Red power cable
2 ft. of 10 AWG Black ground cable

Thanks included in the wiring kit, unless i'll need a longer ground cable
