BTW in response to my earlier reply about having both subs plugged in, yea thats a no go. Stock sub just isnt worth having it plugged in at the same time. Too much interference. Only reason i wanted to try that was because my aftermarket sub wasnt playing any of the higher frequencies, but i figured out that i just needed to set the LPF a lot higher, they had it set to 50, i brought it up to about 120 and it plays everything just fine now. However i am not pleased with the performance of the type s. Just doesnt pack quite the power punch im lookin for. Im lookin for a tighter bass response and I do believe my type r will cover that,(way bigger magnets than the type s).
Which brings me to the question of the day. I need someone with decent technical knowledge to answer this.
The power wire kit they put in was an 8 gauge kit for this Kenwood KAC-8103D 1-Channel amp which is running at 300 w rms at 4 ohms. I want to purchase the Kenwood KAC-9103D or maybe the newer KAC-9104D(with cooling fan) which both run at 500w rms at 4 ohms and switch it out with the 8103D so i can put my type r in instead of the type s.
My question is will the 8 gauge power wire be sufficient enough for the larger amp? Or will I need to purchase a 4 gauge kit and re-run the cables? I plan on doing this very soon(by myself this time...) and I need to know this. Also the fuse ratings differ between the 8103 and 9103, the 8103 says 40A x 1 and the the 9103 says 30A x 2, whats the difference? Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Also I am going to be trying to sell the type s with the 8103 amp with sub box included for bout $180(price negotiable) if anyone is interested. Everything is brand spankin new. Anyone know what other threads i might be able to advertise this deal?
