I got most of my equipment but I need the wiring and stuff..

I got a Amp wiring kit, it's a lot of crap but I don't know what exactly is for what and whether or not it includes everything I may need.

Can someone please list all the necessary stuff for a complete install, also how much of it may I need for a Maxima.. ?

thanks!

what all do you plan on installing???? One amp kit will be enough for the installation of one amp (rca's, ground, power, fuse, speaker wire and hardware) If you plan on wiring in new speakers...you shouldn't need anything else. Head unit...wiring harnesses and antenna harness. um.......anything I miss????
Hope this helps

In all I have:

New deck (already in)
4 channel amp
pair of components
pair of coaxials
2 channel amp for subs
2 10's in a sealed box


Are you saying the wiring kit includes everything? because it is quite a bit of wire in there..

hard to tell w/o seeing it. the components and coaxials will have to have speaker wire running from them, through the car to the4 channel amp (if that i what it's for). You will need however much speaker wire you it takes to get from both doors to trunk and rear deck to trunk. Prolly need more than what's in the kit. and to run 2 amps, you'll need 2 distobution block...1=power, 1=ground...(pic of mine below) Fosgate make a amp kit made for useing 2 amps if you would rather have that...more wiring and disto blocks in th kit. You wilalso need 2 sets ofrca cables...one for each amp. You can either get some y-splitters....unless you have 2 rca outputs behind the HU. Lemme know if you need anythingelse r if I'm too confusing

Usually wiring kits will include everything that you need except speaker wire (at least in the kits I've seen/used). If you have two amps make sure you have a kit made for two amps (it will include a distribution block to split your power wire from one into two). You should have a red power wire, a fuse holder with fuse, the distro block, two more red power wires (from the block to each amp), two black ground wires, and of course lots of speaker wire (I bought around 70 feet if I remember correctly). I think that's all you should need. If you have a kit made for a single amp then you'll probably want to return that and get a two amp kit.

You do not NEED a distribution block for your ground, infact each amp should have its own ground, and always remeber the shorter the length of the ground, the better.

Well if its purpose is solely for looks and the wire run is still short, you can still use it. I was only stating that it isnt NEEDed. I actually have one on my cap (Alumapro) that I dont use. My amps still get thier own grounds. Even still ya dont see the back of my cap, so it wouldnt be for show anywayz.

you guys think i'll need more speaker wire?
there is already some with the speakers themselves.. and can i buy some of the things that I did not mentioned above, seperate? and where?

If you already have the kit and the power cable isn't 4guage, then you can run another 8 guage from the battery. My old ride had 2 8guages running as there was one amp in there already and we just strung another one up along side.

It looks like you have most of what you need for one amp and you can buy a distribution block and some 4guage if you need or just run dual power supplies. It doesn't look as though you have a terribly huge amount of current draw. If you don't know what you're doing with electrical systems, I would get a pro to help out. Blowing fuses and starting small fires is no fun thing. This I know.
