New member Username: 99hondacivicMillbury, Mass USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Dec-05 | I just bought a 350w ALPINE AMP (MRP-M350 1 Channel V-Power Class-D Mono Amplifier) and 2 12" JL Audio W0 subs. I have no idea about car audio or even cars in general. What kind of wiring kit would i need to hook this up??? How many gauges? or Watts? and is there anything else i need? Please help me...Would i be able to use a walmart wiring kit that is 5 gauges and 1400watts? |

Anonymous | speaker wire doesnt realy matter. it's your ground wire or power wire that is important and make sure you power wire is grounding really well to have a good connection. so year 12 or 18 would be fine i would go with 14 or 16 awg. buy off of www.knukonceptz.com its a great site than i know alot of people buy from. |
