so what do you think i should do? How is the "correct" way to hook it up. I can get teh 16 gauge no problem but what is the way Kicker wants it hooked up.

actually I'm having my brother-in-law do it. He has done about 3 systems. I just want some knowledge too. I don't think he has done installs as clean as I want mine though....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Do it yourself, its not hard.

Maybe for you, i remember my first install, it was easy as ****.

Run the distro blocks really close to the amp inputs. Then cut each 4gauge peice in half. Make a board out of MDF or plywood, cover it and drill holes so the wire tucks behind it.

For the remote wire, the BEST option is a relay. The trigger being the remote off the deck, power to battery, ground and the two remote leads going to the amps.

So you think I should buy more 4 gauge.

you may not even need a remote wire if the amps have signal sensing

wireless FTW!

My amps are going in the hidden space where the jack is in the Explorers. I plan on running wire through the bottom of the second storage place and to the carpet (under it). I think I might just buy more 4 gauge just to make it a little easier... As for remote, I will solder 2 pieces together and connect to the head unit. Then I will just make 2 runs from head unit.

I would run disto block close and cut a run in half. Also I have ran A spliter(crimped) Run to each of my amps in my install under the carpet. Good Luck but I would recomend You reading up the instructiosn and doint it your selfdont let him do it if his installs arent how you want them

Make sure your amps get air or they will over heat. Dont hide them too good

Are you using JL slash series amps? If so, like side, your amps have hi level sensing RCA's.

Run the remote into a relay, then run two lines outta the relay to your amps (and switch them if you wanna kill switch)...

JL slash seires 1000 watt.

I have a generic 4 channel RCA (for P400-4)

Tsunami 2 channel for JL
