Hi everyone, I have a 4th gen w/stock bose system and cd changer. I'm planning on swapping everything out. I've never installed a whole system from scratch, but I've done all the individual components on my old car after the wire was layed out. So far, I got some Focal components up front, Infinity Kappa coaxials for the rear, 12" Brahma, and I'm reusing my old HU, and RCAs. My question for you guys is, how much power/remote wire and speaker wire is required to hook this up? Can I use any of the stock wiring or do I need new ones? Also, I have a box and my sub, what type of wire do I need to wire this together (DVC, series)? I tried searching but I kept running into an endless number of posts about nothing.

 

If you taking everything out why would you even want to touch the factory 90000gauge wire ..But really wire lenth in terms of speaker wire depend on location, but figure about 15-20 ft per speaker. Figure between 12-16 gauge wire for the front speakers prob 16 or 14 would be fine, and around 12 for the sub...Remote wire to prob should have around 15 ft...Power wire 4 guage around 20 ft...and then around 5 ft of 8 gauge...Don't forget fuses.

 

How much amplifier power do you have? Class A/B or D?

 

It's a 1000W class D amp. I'm going to do it right this time and go with Stinger HPM 0ga, and not 4ga
