what kind of current draw are we talking about here...

my first instinct would be 2awg or 1/0, but having a current draw/fuse rating would be good to have.

the hifonics has 2 60 Amp fuses and the kicker has one 30 Amp fuse. Sorry that i forgot to mention that.

go ahead and stick some 1/0 awg in there. That way if you ever plan to expand your system you will already have the wire ran. It is a pain in the @ss to take wire out and put something different in. Always give yourself a little room to expand, don't do the bare minimum.

BTW do you got an 85 Monte

yeah, i have an 85 monte. its not an SS, but i swapped engines so that i have one of the 454 ss motors. after the system is done i plan on getting some rims and then i will be done.

is there a kit that has the 1/0 wire and all the stuff to run two amps, or should i just go the weldingsupply website to pick the wire up?
