[BoondockSaints 10+ year member]

what wiRES do i need for 2 subs (350-400 watts a piece @ 2ohms) mids and tweets (50-75 watts at 8 ohms each) amp for each 1 (100x4 @ 4 ohms and 800x1 @ 2 ohms)

So what do I need for all that Im kinda lost on what I need. I know knuconceptz is one of the best places to get it.

you're right at the point where 4 ga isn't big enough and you need to step up to 1/0.

I would suggest something similar to this:

You'll also need a good 50' of speaker wire, and it sounds like 3 sets of rca's.

2ga would work but yeah, I'd recommend that Kicker kit too.

As far as speakers n RCA whats better like the karma klear copper or silver

I like the karma rca's

as for speaker wire -- twisted spkr wire is marketing hype IMO, no improvement.

Silver IS marketing hype and won't have any effect on sound, but it DOES cost 10x as much if as copper you're into overpaying for stuff //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I see no reason to get anything other than the klear.
