Component Installation Buy Guide Help

[DDDD 10+ year member]

I'm upgrading my co-axial fronts to a set of components, either Adire Kodas or ID Chameleons.

The installation requires (that I know of)

Things I have:

(1) 4 Channel Amp (Concept CC-1004A)

Things I need:

(1) Power Distro Block

(2) RCA cords

Speaker wire

Remote wire

The question I have is what kind of speaker wire should I get for around 100W per channel. Also I'm not sure what the connectors are called that you connect the amp speaker out to the crossover in.

I need to make a lump purchase from sounddomain and I don't want to miss anything I might need.

Thanks for your help.

I ran some 12 gauge to my 6.5" woofers... call me crazy though cause I sure don't need it.

Maybe this can help http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#wiretable

It tells you the maximum wire length you can use.

0/1 guage! YA NEVER KNOW! Seriously though...I would say 12 guage, but I always spend a little extra cash just incase I might run more power later or something along those lines.

14 or 16 for all component wiring (including wire to the Xover) should do you just fine. 12 is overkill but will work too.
