What else to upgrade?

Right now I have a Fully loaded Fi Bl 12 in a 2.5 cubes ported box at 32 hz. Powered by a Kenwood KAC-X1R. Have a 4 guage Fosgate amp kit. Im a noob so I was wondering what all to upgrade. The RCA's are scosche from wal-mart, the fuse in the in line fuse holder is 60 amps. Should I get new RCA's and a bigger fuse? All on stock alternator and batt. Thanks. Also will be asking about speakers and cd players later

rcas should be fine

fuse should be about an 80 for 4 ga but you will be ok with a 60, you are fusing the wire not the amp.

why do you want to replace these things??

are you getting dimming?

just wanna spend money?

No I just didnt know about how good of quality the rcas were. Ya I figured out the fuse question I had. Well I dont really want to spend money because I want to save for a cd player, 1 set of components and an amp for the comps. Now that my sub is installed im working on that. How are your CDT's?

My CDTs are great, FWIW. You're gonna pretty much have to upgrade the fuse holder and fuse when you add the second amp. You need to at least step up to a mini ANL fuse and about a 150A fuse.

how about some components and an amp to power them?

Ya thats why I am probably going to buy a new fuse holder soon. Also, how would I hook up another amp for my comps?

run a distribution block on your power wire

Ok thats what I thought but wasnt sure. Now I have to look at cd players and comps. I was looking at the cda-9886 but I dont like the eq option, there basically is none. And im on a budget so
