Dual amp intall kit?

[Foote 10+ year member]

Does it matter that the install kit im planning on getting is dual amp, and the setup im planning on doing is just one amp? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

If you are going with the kicker set:

Just use the 0/1

sell the distro blocks to whoever

sell the 4ga wire to me

The 0/1 included in the kit is more than enough for most installs.

ill do that...but...looking at the install...it looks like it doesnt include anything for connecting the power wire to the battery? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

am I going to have to go buy a battery-connector piece with a hole for 1/0 ga wire?

The Kicker dual amp kits only come with two distribution blocks, and an inline fuse holder, so yep you'll need to buy the battery terminals.

darn anyone know a good place to get some that will fit 1/0 wire? I got the whole GM-side post dilemma thing btw. Shipping is just killer on everything Ive been able to find so far //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I get the marine adapters. They have a giant wingnut screw thing.

You can get some simple copper lugs and attach them.

You can get them at walmart for about 6$ for both pos and neg

The sideposts.

You connect the round part to your side posts. Then you connect all your car stuff to the wing nut.

I cannot see images at work. I am hoping that is what I showed a pic of.

Yes and no.

While it would work for hooking up your 1 ga, what happens if you decide to do "the big 3" later where you need to hook up a second 1 ga wire?

That brand isnt alone in doing that, you'll have to look for something that can handle two 1 ga lines at one time.

would this get the job done?

Its pretty cheap and simple...seems.

That is why I suggested the wing nut. I got 3 runs of 1/0...
