I was thinking of changing my speakers and i have my car torn apart right now and someone recommended to change the speaker wires. Is it really going to make a noticeable difference from the stock wire and if so, what kind should i get and what gauge, im not really looking for bass, my sub takes care of that, more for good clear sound with good mids and highs.

I recently found a specification sheet for a very old amplifier that i decided to use on my new subwoofer and i discovered it is rated for 150 watts at 8 ohm's when i thought i was at 4 ohms. Is there anything wrong with this? Would i notice the benefit of running a nice 100$ 150watt RMS 4ohm amp?

Thanks in advance!

Getting an 03 Mitsubishi Lancer and Im going to have about $400 give or take to spend. It has a cd player and the stock speakers don't sound horrible, but they don't sound great. I was thinking about getting an ipod ready head unit and 2pair rockford T162c speakers, or trying to get a set of rockford 12" p3 subs off ebay, but the subs and the amp would be cutting it close i think. What would be better, ill get them both eventually anyway.

this is a package with 2 12" JL Audio's w6v2's plus a kicker Zr 1000. i was wondering if that amp was the right amp for the job. Also would i need a capacitor for this setup or what? I know the kicker draws a ton of energy so any help would be nice??? this setup was in my friends car and it would DIM his lights a TON so im just wondering what i should do about it?? thanks
