last time what's the best signal rca would you recommend

Tons of perfectly capable signal wires available. Just don't get the cheapest pos's you can find. Most anything in the $10-20 for a ~15' 2 ch cable is going to be decent.

Better to stick with the reputable brands.

Stinger, Street Wires, Kicker, Knukonceptz, several others.

There are also 4 ch cables (4 + 2) that might save you a few $ over buying three sets of 2 ch.

thanx! man it worked out with fuse config no smoke, i dont' know what i thinking about with the pyle amp i'm about to upgrade to hifonics what would you go with

zrx 1200.1 mono or 2 channel similar specs

zrx 1200.2 2 channel

2x305 @4

2x600 @ 2 or

mono

1x400 @4

1x600 @2 both 1 ohm @1200 i'm will be running 3 15" @250 rms svc kicker comp both 80 amps with a prime 250.4 50 amp

looking at about 130 amps do i have to upgrade anything big 3 or extra battery, they also have a 4 channel that puts out a lot of watts per channel 4x250 @4 4x500 @ 200 what would be best i know i got three 15" hell i could use three channels what would you do and how would you run this

definitely the mono. At ~1000w your electrical system will benefit from the class D efficiency.

4 ohm subs? So wiring for 1.3 ohms?

The actual current demand of the HF won't be too bad below full volume, and the RF at 4 ohms only being 40x4 won't add a whole lot to that.

Should run fine on an average stock electrical system unless you're the type of person that has to blast it constantly.
