Ah yes, it's only your system's electrical system, not important at all!

give some ppl on the forum business. not that Knu or Shok don't have good products but i'm sure there are some ppl that will have what you need for good prices.

how many feet of 16 gauge do you need. I only have the speaker wire and RCAs (my RCAs are 17 and 18ft). need 0 gauge fuse holder with fuse? there are quite a few ppl selling 0 gauge with terminals and some 4 gauge.

I was thinking about 64 feet, monoprice has oxy free 100' for 12 bucks so it may be hard to beat that

i'd love to compare my 16 gauge 124 count speaker wire to monoprice's wire, so far only knu and kicker 16 gauge comes close with 112 strands. but either way I can do 75ft of 16 gauge, 2 channel RCA, 4 channel RCA for $43 shipped via Priority Mail. if you need a 0 gauge fuse holder and 300 amp fuse, just add $10

this guy's got some 1/0 gauge you could get for you Big 3...http://caraudio.com/forum/car-audio-classifieds/470472-fs-lots-1-0-wire.html

i may even fuse at 150 because realistically I only need about 122 amps. i was just figuring it was good measure to run 1/0 to the back incase i was to add a second batt/upgrade amps in the future. plus i've seen it cheaper than 2 awg some places..

got any more pics stats on the wire/rca's? i mean i take it their good stuff?

you have any sub wire 1200 w (2 type r's)? i was thinking 10 or 12

i really should get more 10 gauge, i have none. just that the last few ppl that got 10 gauge from me told me that the 10 gauge was as big as some of their 8 gauge stuff and they couldn't use it.

so i'd need 10 for that?

you could easily use 12 or some good 14 gauge

lulz
knukonceptz >>>>>>>>>> shok

i disagree. shok cca, is much much better than klmx( i have both) in 4 gauge.

does it matter that i'll be running @ 1 Ohm, therefore making any resistance more pronounced?

somebody said this somewhere, that he was using 10 ga cause he was running one ohm.

ps to restate: 2 type r's together with an amp that has 1500 rms @ 1 ohm

since i won't need the full power of the amp i guess the wire wont be a problem, the guy was only worried about low resistance because he was trying to squeeze the most from his amp.

it that a valid assumption?
