  1. The load ratings on amp install kits aren't usually very accurate. If it is an 8 or 4 gauge cable, I would replace it.

    Go with a 2 or 1/0 gauge kit. This might seem like a bit of an overkill. But, like I tell everyone. If you lay the groundwork right the first time, You won;t have to tear it up late when you want to upgrade.  


  2. No, you don't have enough power, but you can sure as h**l try.

  3. yes you can those watts posted are peak power stats..  the rms wattage is less than half that so youll be fine

  4. You can use them, but you won't get the most from your equipment. However, I don't think anyone will be able to tell the difference, it will be minuscule.
