The Rockford Fosgate Prime R500-1 amplifier is rated 500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms. Most people use it to power 2 - 4 ohm 250 watt RMS subwoofers wired for a 2 ohm final load to the amp.

Yes, you can run 2 seperate 8 gauge lines. Do not use more than an 80 amp fuse on each line.
Oh,my bad this sub is a JL 10W1v2(300W RMS@4ohms).
Good to know it's doable to run two 8 guage power cables.I didn't want to wait another 7-10 days for a two amp wiring kit.

It's funny I ordered the Boston amp (2x60) from Crutchfield where I usually do business and it got here in three days.I ordered the RF mono amp and JL sub/box combo from Sonic Electronics.It's been five days and UPS just picked it up in CA.The same amp that was at Crutchfield(RF Prime 500.1)for 179.99 was at SonicElectronics for 129.99.Guess I'll wait,ha ha.

I checked my truck for wiring routes today.It's not gonna be so bad after all.I'm gonna run my power wires under my door seal on the drivers side and my remote wires the passenger side door seal,the RCA cables up the middle(under XL vinyl floor)alongside the seat's airbag wiring.I'm stoked.
