kicker amp and wire ???
Well I have decided that I am sick of my tower box and 6.5 component speakers set up so I am going a different route
So... I picked up a set of the kicker 6500.2 tower speakers in black cans!!! All you guys running hlcd speakers have sold me on them I have buddies with wake boats but nobody has any hlcd's so I am super excited to get these
My big ? is that with my last tower set up I was using a kicker 350.4 amp and it seems to do fine with that set up. I am hoping i can save a buck and that this will work for my new tower set up. For now I dont plan on adding the second set of mid's I know that there is no way the 350.4 will work for that since I would need 300 rms
also what gauge wire should I run up the tower I am gonna gut the old wiring out since it probably isnt big enough anyway

I used that exact amp, bridged to 2 channels, with 12 AWG wire for my tower speakers

Search the forum, someone asked the same question recently. Phil @ Kicker stated the 350.4 would work but the 450.2 is the best for that setup.

I ran 16 ga speaker wire for my SXT65Qs powered by the Exile harpoon 1K amp. How big of a hole did yall put in the tower to run 12 ga wire? I couldn't even find 12 ga speaker wire and the hole I drilled to fit 2 pairs of 16 ga wire made me cringe it was so big!

yea I searched for a while but it seemed that 450.2 was better because of the flexability to add the extra mids later and if I remember the other guy hadn't already had a amp for their set up and had to buy a new one just wanted to double triple check before telling the wife I had an amp already
