Does it have to be an amp kit?

[Punk In Drublic 10+ year member]

I'm working on my new sub install right now and I just finished the box and wiring up the drivers and stuff, and now I'm on ording my amp and wiring it up. Is it worth it to buy an amp kit? My dad had an idea of using some welding power cable or something (4 gauge) and just running that from the battery to the amp and stuff. Will that work as well as 4 ga. wiring from an amp kit I'd order?

Yeah but it might not be as flexible...

That's the thing, he thinks it'll be pretty much the same, he said it was flexible and everything, and much cheaper.

do it. you don't have to be the same as everyone else.

4 gauge might be pretty flexible, I've got some 3/0 welding wire at the house and its not very flexible... Without the kit you're probably still going to have to buy a fuse and fuse holder

if you mix and match wires, your car will explode //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

It was a little bit ironic...

Don't tell me to shoot myself.
