How many wiring kits would I need to hook up 3 amps.

[408 10+ year member]

I'm going into the shop soon to get my system installed, it will be 2 Alpine Type r's hooked up to 2 alpine mrp-m500 amps with 1 4-channel amp hooked up to 4 door speakers. So my question is how many of this wiring kits would I need Audio Savings | Cadence WK81 8 AWG Gauge Complete Car Audio Amplifier Installation Wire Amp Kit I'd rather buy em online than at the shop because I know they'll charge me an arm and leg just for the wiring kits.

that is way to small for what you are looking to do. thats good for running your 4 channel amp. you would be better off putting your own kit together and buy all the wire by the foot. Amp Installation Kits, HDMI Cables awesome company right there

Thanks for the heads up. Someone on my other thread told me that was the perfect kit for what I was doing, good thing I asked this question before buying the kits. Also, do you think I'll need an extra battery?

I'd take my car but I don't know my way around Salinas, I'd be willing to pay for his gas if he can can come do the work in Modesto. Also, do you think I'd need another battery?

go with what mylows is telling you, he will get you set up like you been at this for years. No bullshit down the road, ude be surprised at the work random car audio places will do. Moble one is houston has like 30-40shops, HUGE chain. They rigged 6.5s into 6in speaker holes my tilting them and using self tapping screws to make new holes that held them at odd angles in a spot to small. Speakers are covered by a plastic pillar so they figured if i couldnt see it they could do it...
