A decent 4ga kit for 4ch amp at Sonic Electronix for $49.99 and in stock would be just fine,I think..MAXXLINK VCAK-4V1-4

4 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit

I think this would be a little better for just a little more.

Nice wire,dont like the Mini fuse concept,never will.The other kit is just fine/good wire as this kit..Either would be just fine/work

ok so heres my update....if you read my first post you will know my situation/circumstances and the limitations of my original upgrade plan.

original plan...4 inside speakers with good base plus an amp to hook up to my pioneer HU

what actually happened:

4 polk audio dxi650($80 for all 4 at bestbuy)

jl audio jx360/4 amp

kenwood kdc797 HU 4volt

jl audio CP108LG-W3v3 8"sub/box(1/4" space between the box and the strut bar)

jl audio jx500/1d amp

tomorrow I will be tuning it with a multimeter and test tone cd

built an amp rack...nothing to fancy. I ended up drilling it directly to the strut brace. the box barely fit behind strut bar. I did a lot of trunk trim modification to fit the box in

sounds really good right now with the gains turned down low...bass hits very hard, sounds like a bigger sub
