What wiring will i need?

[ebmx66 10+ year member]

Ok i have a 2007 Silverado crew cab and have purchased the following products that i am waiting to get installed by a shop but want to get all the wiring i need first so they can just throw it in and it is cheaper

-Rainbow Germanium 265's

-DLS CA41 Amp (4-channel)

-Pioneer 880 PRS

I want to bi-amp the components passive set-up and run no rear fill....i also want to get what i will need for subs so that they can run the wiring for subs i will get in the future and i won't have to pay them again to take apart my truck

I like the Knukonceptz stuff but don't know what wires i will need so can someone set me up with all the wires and the approximate amount of each wire i will need

This seems like you should have no problem doing it yourself instead of paying a shop.

shouldnt take too long with your dash kit, wiring harness,, etc..

How big of a sub amp will you have? Need to know before suggesting wire size on that.

i would think in that truck, you wouldnt need more than 12-15' of power and a couple of ground (depending where you are grounding.) you need a distribution block to split your power off to your DLS (good choice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ) and your future sub amp.

i would get 24-30 total feet of 10ga for biamping your germs.

2 approriate sized fuse holders and you should be good as far as your wiring.

Just so you know they'll likely **** you on labour. Most of the places up here give you a batter price on the install if you've at least bought something from them.

probably around a 1000 rms sub amp maybe more not to sure

all that knukonceptz has in stock for speaker wire is the klear kable and it is there cheapest stuff will it still be good for my set-up?

also could you show me which distro block there are a bunch on knukonceptz website

thanks

oh ya and what guage power/ground wire 1 or 4?

also how many rca cables and what length?

for 100rms 4ga will be ok... But.. if you plan on upgrading in future,, might as well do it all with 1/0.

yes,, that knu wire will be just fine!!

your rca's will need to be long enough to make it from your HU to your amps,, where ever you are mounting them. I am guessing appx. 12'

are you mounting both amps next to each other? if so,, you will only need one set @12' long and then another 12 inches long. This is assuming that your amp has line out. If not,, you will need 2 sets that are 12' long..

If your HU has a dedicated sub out... you will need seperate runs for both amps.
