so i guess that 2 gauge cable with a 160A main fuse over a length of 16ft should be ok ?. Eric D you are correct the XS4600 is indeed for my components . The system is as follows Head unit Pioneer p88rs running comps actively Front comps Crystal audio Csc643 but will be using them 2 way off the XS46...

2 awg for those amps should be ok or would be in my book. The xs amps are good amps but if I am not mistaken might be a little over rated in their power. You might pop a fuse at high volume but I doubt it. The ratings figures are from the prospective manuals . Thought Phoenix gold ratings were pret...

I'll behopefully running 3 Phoenix Gold amps(2 x XS 2500 and XS4600) in my VW B4 Passat estate . According to the manual they each draw 55A continuos full draw current and 85A peak current draw full power . So thats 165A continous full draw current for the three amps .

Also the rake off the seat with the amps facing forward would be good for heat diss...

Ive got a Mk2 Rabbit (GOLF in England ).
Id like to fit the amps either behind the seats or on the boot floor at the rear .
Personnally not keen on fibre glass builds ,i like to use my boot .
Will measure up later to see what ive got space wise .

The only problem i can see with 2 x M100's is that my boot floor is only 33 inches wide ,and 2 x M100's are 36 inches wide(18 inches each) .

What can i say guys you lot are so friendly ,make me feel very welcome .
Happy to be part of this family ,respect to you all

One for the subs and one for the components ,which ones would you choose and why ??.

Thanks for the replys guys .

In your opinion how much clean rms power should i be giving them on a day to day basis ?.(The spec sheet says 180w rms max ).
So 150w per side of scoped output is fine then ?.

My first post on this forum . Brought a set of PG ZCS6 zero point comps recently ,got them at a good price . I need to obtain specs for these comps . Also how good are they sq /spl wise ?. Im not sure weather they should go in my MK2 Rabbit (Golf in UK) for a sq system along side my JL13W6 sub or in...
