Just because I like to give you something to argue about.

If you dont connect the two middle terminals together, you won't get any noise from the subs :/

Yes I knew that.

As for whether or not the 800watt Pioneer monoblock you've been offered is suitable or not, we really can't say without knowing the model number, as it may do 800watts at 1ohm, which means you won't really gain anything by changing amps.

I'll get the amp specs soon and post them up

Why 4 gauge wire? A quality copper (not copper plated) 8 gauge wire should be more then sufficient.

800wrms is going to be in excess of 60A(rms) spikes could be well over 100A if not higher.

Oh ok, gotcha. I have a feeling the 800w is going to be max/peak rating but im only speculating.

Whats the fuse(s) on the amp rated at Davleigh?

those amps are fire hazards, why can't you just buy a cheap 2nd hand amp? surely that wasn't the best ebay had to offer?
