Amp kits

[steve c 10+ year member]

Hey guys I'm kind of a noob to this whole car audio deal. I have a few questions for all the experts. Here's my set up

2008 scion xb (don't laugh this is my college years car!)

H/U Kenwood DNX7100 with the bluetooth deal and an ipod video cable

Door speakers are still up in the air but i was thinking either the component alpines or the crossfire x something or others.. i have a buddy that was telling me about them

Subs 2 alpine type r 12's in a sealed box

Amps 2 600w mono v12 alpines and 1 600w 4 channel v12

Heres were my questions comes in. Should i run 3 amp kits to each amp or run 0 g to a distribution block and run 4 g to each amp? Second question. Were do i get amp kits that aren't an arm and a leg and what kit is decent? Third do you guys think i need to run a capacitor?

Thanks for all of the help in advance!

Steve

p.s. to complete my total noob questions, what is the difference between sql and spl? i think that's what it is.. and yes i tried to search but yielded nothing!

you want 1/0 to a Fused distribution block 4ga to the 3 amps!!! Then for your ground use 4ga from your amps to a disto block to a 1/0 ground lead!!!! I have never seen a 3 amp KIT b4 only dual amp kits here is a good one....http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17214 or you can find them on EBay for $92.00 shipped now if you did that you would still need a couple of extra 5ft or so runs of 4ga for the third amp. And 2 distro blocks.

you have many ways you can go with this i would just buy everything separate cause there are no kits to fit your needs!!!

capacitor? naw i don't think so they look good but i would do a battery and if u do a battery it would do u no good to buy a kit then!!!

SQL is sound quality Spl is alll about that bang lmao
