What amount of bass are you looking for? I don't personally like 4.1 amps that run everything from one Amp but that's beside the point, 8 awg power is too small for your Amp, incidental current could generate a lot of heat and fry wires, fire etc. Remember the w0 series isn't going to break windows no matter what you do and your Amp only puts out 500w rms where the speakers want 600w, like car stereo said, being responsible with adjustments and outputting under max from the Amp to speakers is better than underpowering them. Are your rca outputs and inputs matched? What voltage is your output from your head unit compared to the rca inputs on the Amp?
where did I say I ran 8ga wire ? I ran 4 ga ground and power to battery

i would eventually replace the rear speakers. they are of the least concern though. however sound deadening would be good. depending on how loud you play, the rear speakers might crap out on you. there is such a thing as too much power, and its generally regarding amplifiying oem speakers. never really have to worry about aftermarket stuff as long as crossover points are set though
