Also, to be safe, since we have no clue what kind of vehicle you drive, better order at least 300 feet. As far as speaker wire, you'd probably be safe with 12 gauge, but since you provided no information, better make that 8 gauge as well. It's cheaper to buy the componets of an amp kit seperately, than it is to buy them as a kit, and I dont know anyone with triple 0 gauge wire kits. |
