Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 852 Registered: Mar-04 | you need at least a 4 ga wiring kit. many people will suggest 1/0 just to allow for future upgrades, but 4 will get it done. this is pretty much the standard 4 ga kit as far as good quality/low price... http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=eKo-K4 It looks like you'll need to come up with some remote wire -- about 20' of 18 ga or so, and you should probably get some speaker wire since the wire with the kit is only 16 ga and 10'. Wal-mart sells some pretty good stuff that's not that expensive. |

Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 855 Registered: Mar-04 | looks ok -- probably not truly 2 ga, but it should be plenty for your amp. BTW - this site has it for 1/2 the price... http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/1458707/vpcsid/0 /SFV/30046 |
