I'm going to be getting my stuff installed soon. my first car audio build and my cousin is going to be doing the installation. Here's my equipment, an alpine 12" type x and a pdx-1.1000. i was looking at the knu concepts kits but I don't know what I need. can someone link me to a kit that would work with my setup?

4 gauge wiring kit and a set of rcs cables.

Go with 1/0 gauge amp kit from KNU, if you have the money get their better stuff, Fleks, if not use the klm, but go with 1/0 instead of 4 in case you ever want to upgrade

whats the difference between 1/0 an d4? and why would i want to get 1/0 incase i ever want to upgrade?

Yes if you want to add another amp down the road go.............go with 0 gauge.........

I don't plan on going with another amp so go with the 4 gauge? I do plan on upgrading the comps up front and getting an amp to power them though later.

If you interested I have Rockford Fosgate 4g amp kits for sale. They are brand new in the blister packs and are the same as the Kicker hyperflex wire.....NICE stuff. rice wise I am basically right in line with Knu's prices as well.

Yes 4 gauge would be fine in that case

the amp does put down 1000 watts.

so do you recommend getting 0ga?

IMO 1/0 would be the better choice.
