My cousin is giving me his 2 10" kicker comp vrs. Can anyone recomend me a cheap but decent amp to power them? and should I look into a good wiring kit for when i switch over to something better to save the time of running everything over again?

 

get about 25 feet of 1/0 cable, 20 should be enough to run from the battery to the trunk, but getting 25 gives you some extra to play around with. I'd also pick up about 3-6 ft of another color for a ground. Running the same color works fine, as long as you dont screw up and wire it backwards...you can more than likely find somthing, even a distro block, to adapt it to smaller wiring in the trunk if you need, running 1/0 gives you plenty of headroom in the future for all the system you'll really wanna put in your max. To be realistic, you could run just 0 ga, but if you can afford it, run 1/0 so you dont have to worry about upgrading it later on. I'd buy everything separately, and stay away from a kit...unless you wanna buy a kit AND RCAs, since most rcas included in wiring kits suck.
This is a good choice for strand count/price/shipping, although you might have to ask for another color if you want somthing other than blue.

As for RCAs, there are a lot of choices. Stinger is decent, Monster THX certified is good, making your own if you do it right works well too, but its not a good idea to make your own if you're not pretty proficient with soldering.

As for a cheap/decent amp, you could try a Profile california series mono amp, although they're known for overstating their power output.

 

well im only running 4 guage, i thought 0 would just be over kill...im running 8-900 watts rms.....so 4 gauge is plenty... and my only upgrade i might do is adding another 500 watts.... and id still consider myself safe with the 4 guage(and if not power wire was the asiest of my wires to run).....but as far as an amp for those woofers...150-250 watts RMS per channel id think would push them nice a kicker KX400.1 or something along those lines...speaking of , whats there ohms any idea? im an ebayer when it comes too wanting a cheaper good amp or anything most of my system is off ebay lol....perhaps one of these other guys know of a store cheap good amp...

 

if you get two DVC 2 ohm subs, the Kicker KX400.1 will do fine. It will do roughly 425-500 watts mono into a 2 ohm load.

 

glad to see you could make it polecat!

 

thanks man! good to run onto you here too
