Amp Kit vs Separate Purchase

[ninjawhiteboy12 10+ year member]

I am debating on if I should buy two amp kits(one for my mono and one for my 4 channel) or if I should just buy a 50ft spool of 1/0 wire and a 33ft spool of 4 gauge and get the RCA's, fuse holders, and everything else separate. Which would be a better value?

the 1/0 roll is $90 and the 4 gauge is $30

I would be getting Knu amp kits

Thanks guys

why 33 ft of 4 gauge for your 4 channel?

what ever ends up cheaper in the end. just do some basic math and go from there. its allways nice to get stuff from one place and if u get to the wire kits from knu u can have it all in a few days and b ready to go.

Oh i forgot to mention I am doing at least 2 runs of 1/0 for power and ground

as for the 4 channel that is just how large the spool comes in

I run all 1/0 and use a 4 guage reducer on my mid/high amp. No need to buy more than you need. I bought my knu wire on ebay and you can buy however much you want to the nearest foot.

so it would probably be better to get the spool of 1/0 and get a small amount of 4 gauge to use to attach to the 4 channel from the reducers and just buy all of the other stuff separate.....that is sounding pretty good to me

any ideas on where to get cheap fuses/fuse boxes, reducers, and RCA's?

If you use 1/0 to 4 gauge reducers you wont need any 4 gauge wire at all. The reducer allows you to run 1/0 to your mid/high amp which apparently accepts 4 guage minimum.

okay sweet, the less stuff I need to buy the better

where is the best place to buy the other stuff?
