hey guys my problem is i have my kx1200.1 coming in tomorrow and i need to get some 1/0 amp cables to power it as well as inline fuse holder for 150A fuse. my question is, is there any place in okc (or chain stores across the nation) that i can get some power cable at? i'm trying to save on having to pay $15+ on shipping charges from ebay and other online retails for amp kits and whatnot. if anyone knows of a good place i'd greatly appreciate it.

you can get them at most local car audio shops ( id look for places with bulk though, as the 1/0 kits are rare and unbelievably expensive for what they are. If you can id go to http://www.weldingsupply.com itll save u tons

the only problem is that i kno of 1 car audio shop here in okc (audio plus). but wouldn't kno of any that carry power cables. i was planning to buy in bulk so i'd have spare wire for the big 3 upgrade. btw does anyone kno if the wire from weldingsupply.com comes with the protective sheathing or is it juzt "bare wire"? thanks.

ok well also i'm juzt wanting to kno something juzt to be sure. but would it be possible to run 4 gauge wire temporarily to a kx1200.1 with a 60A fuse? i kno it's retarded to ask but is there anyway i can use the 4gauge temporarily (maybe with bigger fuse?) if not then i'll have to put off installing my amp for a week or so. :-\ also does anyone know if this amp kit would be worth the money? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5733562385&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT732857726&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT or this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5733562385&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

you can do it, its dumb to run a 60a fuse though. Go get a bigger fuse. Also Walmart has wiring kits, go get one of those.
