[91Chevy 10+ year member]

I'm -hopefully- ordering all the wiring I need tomorrow. List of everything:

Karma SS 2 Channel 4 Meter RCA Cable x2.

KLM 1/0 Amplifier Installation Kit

Kolossus Fleks Kable 4 Gauge Black Power/Ground Wire x 4 feet.

Kolossus Fleks Kable 8 Gauge Black Power/Ground Wire x 4 feet.

Klear Kable Blue 12 Gauge Speaker Wire x 15 feet.

Plus some ring terminals and stuff. Also getting a fused distribution block, just from somewhere else. Missing anything?

so i'm guessing the 12 gauge is for the comps? 15' sounds a little short to me. of course this depends on the vehicle and amp location. always better to have more than not enough...

Get 4-AWG to go to the amps.

Might as well.

x2

It took me a little more than 30 feet for my car ('98 Mustang Coupe, amp in the back) to do both sides.

And 12AWG is a little over kill. 14awg is a cheaper and easier alternative with the same results. The current that comes out of amps runs in a high-voltage AC current, with not too many amps. (Especially not for components) Lower gauge wire will work fine. But if you wanna go big and bulky, go ahead. I'm just saying 14 awg (even 16 awg) will work.

You also want to order more wire than you need. Better to pay an extra $5-10 bucks and have extra than to have to go out and buy more wire or not be able to run the wires easily.

Sorry, 30ft. of speaker wire comes with the comps. 12awg was for Sub amp to subs.

Wtf are you gonna do with 4 feet of power wire?

Distro block to amp, (hopefully the 8 AWG for that, and the 4-AWG for ground)

Center console (where the d-block is gonna be) to under the seats (where the amps will be) is a foot away.

EDIT: Clearing this up. Battery to where my d-block is gonna be is under 10 feet. From there, beneath the seats is a foot away. I have then 15ft to go to my subs from under the seat, which is TONS, and 30feet to go to the components in the doors, plenty.
