OK cool, thanks. Yea I already have the amp wiring kit. I got it since it had nothing but good reviews.

Hi, I'm a real beginner with car audio and electronics. I'm looking to see what are proper fuses that I should use for my audio system. I will have 2 amps running into a fused distribution block that runs to the battery with a inline fuse holder. All will be using 4gauge ofc power wire. Here is...

Ok well I guess I'll try and see if I can cancel my Noico order. If I can then I will order https://www.amazon.com/Stinger-RKX36B-Roadkill-Damping-Material/dp/B001HHP59G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490905209&sr=8-1&keywords=stinger+roadkill

Ok cool, thanks! I found that when I read through a lot of forum posts, everyone always talked about adding multiple layers. So, I should be good with one layer of the Noico 80 mil right? I didn't know and didn't think roofs needed any sound deadening or not really. Is it recommended that I do...

I'm in the process of installing a sound system in my 2005 CR-V. I was told about sound deadening so I have been trying to do a bit more reading and research on it. I always had the idea and notion that everything would sound good as long as I got decent equipment like amps, speakers, and subs...

I see, ok. I've decided to get this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NORCPA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER And then run 50 and 80 amp fuses to the 2 amps. That way I don't have to buy fuse holders as well and create less hassle wiring.

I tried to look it up but couldn't really find any answer. Are you supposed to or do you use fuses when connecting your speakers and speaker wires too? Is it good practice too? edit: Wait, so I'm confused. Do I determine what type of fuse I need based on the hardware rating or based on the wire...

Thanks so much for all of the help guys!

So, I was also wondering. It's probably a stupid question but how do I determine how much amps I need when I get fuse holders/blocks? If I run one 4 gauge power wire to d block from the battery, then is one 120 fuse holder enough at the terminal? But how do I determine what rated fuse I need for...

Well I think I bought a good amp kit and lots of people gave good reviews on it. I tried to make sure I got a good amp kit so I wouldn't have to ever worry about wiring so I'm pretty sure it should be true OFC. Run 2 runs of 4 gauge wire from a distribution block to the battery? Like combining...

Oh and I don't know if it matters but the Rockford Fosgate R500X1D Prime 1-Channel Class D Amplifier I have is listed at 500 watts but these amps have actually been rated higher for a lot people from like 620-650. I'm not sure what mine is so I would have to try and find out.

This is my very first system that I've ever attempted to do. I was wondering can I run both of my 2x amps straight to my battery terminal with fuses for each at the beginning of their power wires? Is it ok to do this and how should I go about it? I have some more 4 gauge power wire left so I...

what do you guys think?

So I think I'll be taking Jeffdachef's suggestions for the most part. So the remaining parts I need to order are... -1x STS-1 AUDIOPHILE SILK DOME TWEETER KIT STS-1 Audiophile Silk Dome Tweeter Kit - Crescendo Audio -2x PWX 6.5" MIDRANGE SPEAKER PWX 6.5" Midrange Speaker - Crescendo Audio...

I guess that's just me trying to be considerate of everyone if I have rear passengers lol. Well if having the rear speakers for fill hurts the system more than helping then I guess I can disregard them. Will the front components system be fine/enough for people in the back too though? I don't...
