Install questions

[LZC8114 10+ year member]

Alright guys time just about time to install and wanted to know if i've got everything that i need to get. First timer here! Heres my gear: Diamond audio:[ s500s, d361 rear fill, d5 300.4] , JL [12w6v2, 500/1] and a pioneer p860mp.

1) Mounting plate

2)wiring harness

3) antenna adapter

4) 4 AWG amp wiring kit http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KOL-AK4

5) Distribution / Fuse Block http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KNF-12

6) More 4 AWG powerwire ( need to measure for how much more i need) http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KOL4BL

7) More 12 AWG speaker wire " " http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLE12BL

Now was unsure if these last two ( 6. 7.) were sold by the foot?

Anything i'm missing? If you could let me know i would appreciate it, thanks

BTW didnt realize how time consuming researching all this stuff(gear + install) would be!

You might need baffles for the speakers if they dont fit.

Some spade connectors depending if the amp has the outputs or not.

A cold beverage as well.

whatever you do, don't forget the cold beverage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

going to stock up on snack packs and juicy juice's for an army for this install!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Somehow ive convinced myself into: making my own box, creating mdf speaker adapters for my front speakers, custom fitting my headunit since at the moment im unable to find a proper fitting one, and possible create an amp rack cause i need to be able to fold the seats down for snowboards. All im saying is its going to be a long week(there goes spring break!)

would you guys recommend getting foam baffles for the speakers?

I wish you the best of luck with the install, fella. Assuming it is installed and setup properly it ought to sound pretty freggin good. Your choice of gear is definately solid and if you got it all at retail pricing it must have cost a ton! (I'll assume, though, that you hit up the interweb for some if not all of that)

I'm a huge fan of DAT's gear. Good stuff! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Im in southern California right by Los Angeles Aiport

Got all my gear so far online, dont have to money to pay retail prices =)

Got another question, going to run rear fill through headunit but couldnt find what guage speaker wire the headunit allows, any ideas?

20-22 ga is the norm for H/U wire

You should be fine crimping on 16ga though
