Where is a good place to get a decent amplifier install kit?

Question

I'll be running about 800-900Watts RMS and total "fuse" value of 110Amps (50+60) I believe a 4 ga, will do the trick.

Answer 1

For a good value try http://www.knukonceptz.com . Amp kits in car audio and chain stores are usually good quality, but overpriced; and cheap kits online and in discount stores are often thin wires with thick jackets so they look like larger gauge than they are. The Knukonceptz stuff is excellent quality and very well priced.

Answer 2

Ebay. Get a Rockford 2 gauge kit. You can get by with 4 gauge, but you'd be better off buying thicker cables. I started with 8 gauge in my car, then ran a 4, a 2, and finally 0 gauge. Just run a fat one the first time so you don't ever have to upgrade. Make sure you get a Rockford kit, because most other brands skimp on the actual metal in their cables. Rockford makes REAL cables.

Answer 3

With that much power, you may need to:

1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator
2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery
3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground wire from the battery to the chassis and ground strap from the chassis to the engine block or transmission to at least 4 AWG.

Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621

You'll need Microsft Excel to use it.

for the gauge number 4 os fine, the smaller the number better the wire for high current flowing.
