Fd Speaker Help!

i got 2 new subs and an amp, and i need some help on how to wire them in....i found a kit on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110272337619


but im not 100% sure if this will do the trick.....
i also found.....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300241892501

and i would like to know the lowest Farad's number i can get, i need to power a 600 watt max amp, which powers 2 400 Watt max amps, i know the subs wont work, im hoping to somehow tune them down to 200 watt and have the amp running at 400watt

but i dont know if i need more that 1 Farads.

also, to keep it on an Rx-7 basis....my 7 dies, after i drive it for a little while and stop and shut it off, it will not re-start...also the turbos have a 2-sec lag and it will sometimes automatically die if i dont keep my foot on the gass a little, or in other words, if i stop it dies (some times)

For the amp and subs, you just need a better amp. That setup is going to be underpowered and won't last very long, much less sound very good. As for the car, have you had it tuned up recently?

Both of those wiring kits are about the same, either one would work.

I really don't understand anything else you typed. Just post the links of your amp and subs and i'll give you a diagram on how to wire it.

As MyredFD said, if your amp isn't strong enough to push your subs, you might as well not even try.

well i got the stuff off ebay, and i was gonna set the amp to power the subs at a constant 200-250 each, whitch the sub only pumps out 600watt but if i make it a constant 400......sorry about the rest of the thread, i was kinda in a hurry and typed faster than i was thinking....anyways the links to each item are below starting with the amp.

just wire it for stereo. you'll get 200 rms all around and it should sound decent. dont bridge the subs. they'll blow.

You got it right. if you're really unsure about hooking this up, go to here www.crutchfield.com and search or let a pro do it.
