Silver Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 144 Registered: Jan-06 | im looking for an amp kit for my edesign NINE.1 amp and my 2 10'' asendant audio subs. i believe what i need is : 1-Power Cable 17' 2 Gauge 1-Remote turn-on leads 10' 1- Speaker wire 18 gauge 3-5' 1-Fuse/circuit breaker 2- 2 Gauge ring terminal The RCA's i am goin to be using are going to need to be separate because i am using factory head unit and they are gonna be a Hi/Lo converter. Also, is 2 gauge over-doing it or is it just better to be safet than sorry? |

Silver Member Username: StnorrisEldridge, IA US Post Number: 586 Registered: Apr-06 | if he went any smaller in wire size. if your going above 1300rms, i would get 1/0 gauge wiring. |

Silver Member Username: StnorrisEldridge, IA US Post Number: 587 Registered: Apr-06 | also, mike, what aa subs are you running? if your powering ur subs with 1200 rms , 600rms to each sub, you will definantly need 12 guage speaker wiring. 10 gauge would be even better. |
