[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1063671697, member: 2429"] I don't mean to be rude bro, but please go learn up what is impedance, what is double voice coil, and what is RCA before you venture into this. I don't think you quite understand what my replies are saying. Your subwoofer is the Mohawk Orange which if not mistaken is double voice coil with each coil having 4ohm imedance. That means if you wire up the sub, it can be wired to either 2ohm (parallel) or 8ohm (series). If you hook it up 2ohm, that means whatever amp you use must be able to support 2ohm when bridged and the Orange RMS power is 200w so that's quite low. Subs are single channel (mono) so for a 4-channel to power it, you need to use one channel which will only work if you bridge two stereo channels together to become mono (1 channel). Since this alpine bridged is 4ohm, and your sub is wired to 2ohm, [b]you'll spoil the amp[/b]. The earlier amp you selected was able to support 2ohm when bridged so that amp will not have a problem powering the sub. RCAs you can opt for a good one but for 150 to 200 bucks, either you spend on getting a 2nd hand mid-range RCA cable or you get a low-range brand new RCA. Also, the longer the cable, the more expensive it is so assuming you're installing in a mid-sized sedan, you'll need about 4m to 5m long RCA. For RM200 you don't really have much choice, perhaps a Stinger cable or something. Just shop around or ask advice from reputable sellers. [/QUOTE]
