I am about to buy wiring for my 3rd Gen to wire my planned audio system. I am considering 16ga, 100ft of wire to cover more than what I need. I can get monster blue for around $24.75 or Stinger purple for around $29.00. Which is the better wire? Better value? Choice? Please help, I know nothing about this subject and need the confidence of an experinced person to help me decide. Thanks. I've gotta make a decision soon.

 

Monster Cable all the way...

 

Monster and stinger are about the same very very little diff between the two. 16 ga sounds tiny I asume your talking about power wiring? If so then you should prob go with 8-12. Depending on different things.

 

why would he need 100' though?? thats enough to do 5 cars... I think hes talking speaker wire in which case copper is copper...

Yeah I should have read the title closer-my fault...it is speaker wire...100 feet is alot...how many damn spekers do you plan to run like 15?

 

Yah, if your running from an amp in the trunk to the front doors, 15 ft per speaker is more than enough. I would get something cheaper, although at the bulk price that stuff is pretty cheap. Crutchfield used to have streetwires, 14ga for 40 cents a foot, 25 ft should be enough.

 

Go lightning audio. Get their amp wiring kit. Costs around $60.00 for a single amp setup but you'll their top of the line power, ground, speaker wire as well as connectors, etc...

If you are running a dual amp setup they sell a kit for about 120.00 which comes with power and ground distribution blocks and some other good stuff!

 

I think stinger.

 

I just bought an amp kit from ebay. Came w/ all that stuff except speaker wire. The 3 sets of RCA's are black though, but he said that they are triple shielded (I have no clue what that is anyway, except that it's for noise). I plan to wire this from my Eclipse head to the Rockford amp a friend is selling me to my FNX component set that I'm mounting up front.
