[QUOTE="kustomciv, post: 7316904, member: 632969"] I am trying to use parts I already have. I have two sets of amp kits one: too small of gauge other: too short what was explained to me was that I could use a 2nd inline fuse (which I already have) to add more wire onto my existing 4 gauge rockford fosgate kit instead of buying more parts. I'd rather make my $50 kit I already own work than buy a $20 kit that has a bunch of stuff in it I don't even need (because I will then have 3 sets) and isn't the copper % that my nicer kit is. I have a certain amount of money that was supposed to go towards buying a sub only because I thought I already had everything I needed to do this so the less money I have to spend the more money I have towards my sub so I just pulled all the 8 gauge pos amp wiring out of my car, somehow managed to be able to do it without pulling any panels (not sure) so now I am waiting on my firewall plug to come in the mail so I can go ahead and run the 4 gauge kit I have and then I will know an exact amount of wire I need to purchase. The fuse and everything on the 8 gauge kit is good, I am guessing I should also upgrade the amp ground wiring to 4 gauge as well? [/QUOTE]
