I need to get 4 guage wire. i need to wire my battery to the 3 amps i will be running...they are small amps like 100watts. and i need the wiring from the amps to the component speakers and to my bazooka tube. i will be having 1 amp for the fronts, 1 for the rear, and 1 for the sub. I will also be having the stock head unit and i will need a line level converter. Any suggestions

 

Wal Mart they are like 30-40 bucks

 

If you want good you cant get cheap, but you could get good and cheaper then kits if you buy the parts separate. Go to any good Car Audio/Stereo shops and buy the wires by the foot. Usually the good ones cost around $2/ft. With the fuses and connectors you should still run cheaper then the kits that have the same wires in it but are just in kit instead.

 

yea i relized best and cheap are an oxymoron. but yea tahts what i was thinking to buy it buy the foot. because i dont want to have to buy a couple differnt kits and have extra things i dont need.

 

Yeah, I just recently ran into that same thing. I was all into getting a kit, then realised a kit I want which will leave me with extras costs $200. I bought all the material I need including the wood/carpet/wires/parts for <$150 and thats with the nice CA tax

 

where did u buy ur wiring and al lthat good stuff...connectors,RCA,fuses,fuse box...everythign for wiring

 

In the Valley north of Northridge in CA. I can find the exact addy cause my friend drove and took roads I didnt know

 

i just oder 4 gauge wiring kit from Ebay for $67 . whole kit including speaker wires and everything

 

yea i live in simi valley so if u know anywere in the distance of here. driving isnt really a biggy

 

yes that is the other option to find a kit on ebay, I needed the carpet and other parts too and wanted to just get everything in one place.

 

Err, the wood i got from homedepot, sorry xD 3/4" MDF for $25

 

does regual ply wood work...i mean what is the differnence betweent plywood and mdf wood

 

ummmm huge difference! dont use plywood when it comes to audio!

you said your gonna have 3 amps? Thats alot of heat for your car.

 

I suggest wal-mart... scosche wiring kits... just make sure the rca's are shielded and you'll be good...

 

If you use plywood or partical board you have a chance at blowing your box apart. Trust me I know!!

 

yea like i said the 3 amps go as: 1 is 100 watt for sub and the other 2 are 80 watts. so i dont know how much heat that is

 

an 8ga kit will work fine...

 

try hifisoundconnection.com and go to the brand named hooker! that the amp kit i have a 4 gauge!
