does any one know of a good wireing kit that can handle 900 watts rms for 2 amps? please post the name and mabye a link of where i can find it at.

Thnks

 

Just go to ebay and search for 4 gauge wire kit. You should find quite a few. Stinger, Monster, Phoenix Gold, Pyramid, all sorts or brands. I would stick with 4 gauge and have your amps get plenty of power. Probably nee about 18-20 feet of power. kits range from around $50-100.

 

I would recommend Stinger HPM, thats just my personal preferenece though

 

Just under $30 shipped, what do ya'll think?

It is what it is...cheap. You will get what you pay for.

Save your $$$ and get a good kit from knukonceptz. You won't be dissapointed!!!!

 

Cheap wires = cheap sounding system. Some ppl would never believe the difference high quality wires and RCAs make.

 

Not necessarily..... As long as the proper gauge is used, you don't have to spend a fortune on wires.

 

Didn't say u had to spend a fortune on wires, especially as far as the power, ground, and remote goes. I would definatly buy a quality set of RCAs though. I would definatly look around some more on ebay for something a little higher priced. I would not buy an amp wiring kit w/ RCAs that's only $15. BTW...genepool what setup do you have n your car?

 

I just replaced the bose HU with a pioneer 860MP. I'm going to keep the bose speakers for now, and hope to add a sub in a few months. As long as the wires are the proper gauge, you shouldn't have any problems, regardless of the price of the wire.

 

Knukonceptz...all The Way.

 

I wouldn't buy a $15 kit from ebay, especially when you are gonna spend another 15 for shipping. Just spend a little more and get a better brand. I think wire is pretty much wire, but make sure you do at least get a good set of RCA's.

 

wire is just wire. just make sure it has high strand count.

 

Wires? No difference.
RCA's? Yes. Difference.

 

although, I do like this comment

 

Then wire isnt really just wire.

 

Actually the power wire does make a difference. In "higher levels" not really, but lower grade compared to higher grade, yes it does.

Ive done this test a few times....

Main things to check:
Higher strand count
Finer strands
Tigher winding of the strands.

BTW..I didnt forget about you, I was just trying to figure a few things out for ya. Otherwise Im ready to get that stuff for ya, if ya still need it.

 

bah, you know what i mean

 

Yea I know, but had to have some fun....

 

i gotta admit this forum is one of the more entertaining ones on the org

 

fo sho it is. i've had good luck with streetwires...seemed thicker than my monster 4 gauge and was easier to work with too.

 

...What stuff?...... ...



....oh yeah. , that stuff
Yes, I still need it all. Everything is ready on my end, Im just waiting for the plastic to come in the mail. PM me when you figure those things out for me.(?)

 

i say if you have the time, buy everything separately. kits can be a big ripoff, especially if you're not going to use the rca's and speaker wire. most people only buy the kits because they're more convenient, but only end up using the power/ground wires, fuse holder, and distro blocks.

if you buy everything separately, you get everything you need and want. you can get really good 4awg for about $1/ft on ebay. stores will charge ~$3 for the same wire. a dual amp kit can be anywhere from $70-150.

 

well they do sell kits that only contains the power, and ground cables.

 

Yup, I sell them regularly.

 

I personally prefer Forney Welding Cable, its got a very high strand count, it stays flexible at ALL real world temperatures, and has a highly heat/chemical resistant jacket..its just kinda ugly with its flat black jacket that says Forney Welding every foot..its cheap too, about $1.37 a foot for 4 ga at a local overpriced store, $2.27 for 2ga..

 

Electrons Flow Outside The Wire, So Having A CABLE With The Most Strands...
Need I Say More.

 

???

electrons flows IN the wires, not outside. the more copper the wire contains, ie strands, the easier the current can flow.

 

the electrons move through the copper conductor, and return to the battery via ground...screw copper, get a high strand count platinum wire and be happy with your amp power cable thats more expensive than your car

now off to get my first cup of coffee

 

the brand or wires doesnt matter..

as long as its the right gauge and kit will be fine.

 

strand count is important...

 

I would have to Stronglky disagree with this. The things posted above DO matter.

 

Um, NO. So you're telling me that I can use 4 or 1/0GA welding cable and get the same results that I would from using a +3,000-strand count cable? Sweet, looks like my wiring just got ALOT cheaper...but so did my SQ.

 

no , i mean any wiring kit. who the hell would use welding wire??

I would never pay 100$ for a monster wiring kit when a street wires kit is about half that price and i bet there is no differance.

 

right but you are comparing 2 brands that are good (although i think monster is overrated). take the walmart 4 gauge compared to good stuff and there is a difference.

 

You're gunna get whatcha pay for....unless it's Monster, the you paid too damn much. Welding wire = mistake.

 

no offense to don (i don't know how much he charges), but those kits are also overpriced. at a retail store, you'll pay ~$40-50 for a 4awg power/ground kit. you still only get about $20 worth of wire. plus, the original poster wanted a kit for 2 amps. i still say if you have the time, choose what you want and buy them separately.

 

if you get GOOD welding wire (the VERY HIGH strand count Forney 2 or 4 ga stuff, haven't looked at anything heavier), there is NO difference in the strand count of somthing twice the price, I've taken chunks of forney to verious car audio stores and compared it to their 4ga, and the only difference is the jacket on the Forney cable is a little tougher and ugly. I'll go strip a chunk off of some forney cable and take a pic

 

heres a link to my .org reference section of my cardomain page

nope. outside the wire.

 

so then if i add some wire loom will there be less resistance???
