Kicker Dual Amp 0/1 Kit?

[corex 10+ year member]

I'm a complete noob when it comes to the wiring aspect of the system. Right now, I haven't touched the installs yet, and I'm getting it done at a local store here since they're doing it cheap for me since i know one of the guys who owns it and I know they'll do a good job. Although, wire prices are jacked up like crazy instores, so I'm picking up everything before hand.

The list of equipment I got is:

Boston Acoustic Pro 60 6.5" 2-Way Component Speakers

Rockford Fosgate "25 To Life" Punch 150 Lt. Ed. to power the speakers

JL 10"W7 Sub

JL 500/1 to power the W7

I was wondering if the kicker Dual Amp 1/0 Guage kit http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3935_Kicker+PKD1.html# (I'm not buying it from there, just that has all the information) would cover all the aspects of wiring except for RCA's/Speaker wire for the equipment I got here. I'm assuming its more than enough for my system, but since I can afford 1/0 Guage, why not go for it? Also, would that kit include enough wiring to do the "Big 3" aswell, or would I have to purchase extra 1/0 guage wire for that? Lastly, where would I get proper RCA's and speaker wire to finish off the wiring aspect of my system; are there any just speaker/rca kits out there aswell? Thanks for all your help.

Dude, if the owner is helping you out, the least you could do is buy wire from them.

nah, i told him i'm getting everything before hand since he said he couldn't help me out on pricing for most stuff just on installs.

I just bought that kit on eBay real cheap... It has everything you need for power, eg wire, ground, fuse, and dist. block.

honestly, your better off doing it yourself. i had a shop do my car, and they ****ed everything up, i payed for a kicker dual amp kit, and they gave me all gray power cable and cheap distro blocks lol.

i got the right blocks and fuse holder, but it was a hassle, if i could, i would go back into time and do it all myself. it isnt hard, just do some research and presto, you should be jamming in no time.

btw i have sort of the same kit, great stuff.

reading your sig it says your using knukonceptz' wiring, did you use the dual amp kit on a previous system or something?

so if i get this kit, the only other wiring i would need to get is rca's and speaker wire, correct? where would i be able to purchase that? are there any kits like this one available on ebay for that purpose? thanks guys.

hey im kinda confused on this kit (kicker 1/0awg dual amp kit). im bout to pick one up in a week. well my 2 amps total up to 160amps and the kicker comes with a 300amp anl fuse. is that ok or do i need to go out and buy a 160-200amp fuse? also i saw knukonceptz has fuses on their distribution blocks, does kicker have it also, i didnt see any on the picture.

Great kit, just don't forget that RCA's do not come with it.

You'll be fine with the 300A fuse. The Kicker distribution blocks do not have fuses, however they have a ton of outputs.
