I have a 1000 watt mono block class D amp and two 10 inch subs each with an RMS of 600 watts. I bought an 8 gauge amp kit, will that be big enough?

 

it will work but i highly recommend you go with a 4 guage kit

 

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

Uhh, it is a mandatory 4 gauge.

 

x2. A true 1000 watt amplifier needs at least 4awg.

 

X10 use 4awg i have 1/0 from batter to distributor (back wall) then 4awg to each amp. same with ground 1/0 from chasis to distributor (back wall) then 4awg to amps.i also recommend doing the big 3 if you have a 1000d i have the two alpine amps and one is a 1000d and with out the big 3 my lights would dim. good luck man....

 

i was saying that your amp will turn on and work with 8 guage but thats the slacker way of doing it, i know thats the stupid thing to do....

 

I appreciate everyone's input on this, I went and bought a wheel of 4 guage wire. My next question is, do you think I will need any sort of extra power such as a second battery or anything?

 

No your be fine
