[QUOTE="ingine53, post: 6649530, member: 615968"] So I have decided to buy two kicker l7 15's and a kicker zx1500.1 and install everything myself. I have done some research but am still a noob to car audio. Before I start buying all my stuff, I thought of a couple questions. I have upgraded the big 3 with all 1/0 gauge wire. For the power wire I will use running from the battery to the amp, what gauge of wire should I go with based on my system? Also, I already currently have a crappy amp and 2 subs in my car. Can I just use the same remote wire and RCA cables in my current amp for my new kicker amp? For the speaker wire I use to wire my subs, what size cables should I get? Also, I was told that for what I am upgrading to, I could keep my stock alternator and battery and just needed to upgrade the big 3. After reading an article I found on Crutchfield, it seems as if I should get a HO alternator and better battery. Can someone clarify this for me please? Here is the Crutchfield link.
