Need more power!!!
OK...my setup has been finalized. Check this out
H/U - Kenwood DDX8019
Front Speakers - Rainbow CS 265.25
Rear Speakers - Rainbow SL 165
Subs - 2x Rainbow 12" Vanadiums
Speaker Amp - Rainbow KW 4150
Sub Amp - Rainbow KW M2000
I figure...GO BIG or don't go at all
Now I'm trying to figure out what wiring do I need. I know I'll need to upgrade the Big 3, and get a new battery (optima yellowtop), and maybe a new high output alternator. The big 3 I'll see if I can do that before the install. But what about powering everything. I figure at most (which I doubt I will ever hit) I can put out 2600w. I've been reading and reading, and trying to figure out what size wires I need, but my head is starting to hurt (too many numbers and equations)...I figure in total the amps are pulling roughly 130 AMPs total (please tell me if wrong). So I was going to go with 0AWG from the battery to distribution block in the trunk, and 4AWG from the block to the amps. For the speaker wire i figure 14AWG. Should I go with a fused Distro box or not. I can use any advice cause is far as this goes im kinda clueless. Thankz
