Where to Purchase Wire / What to Look for?

[konradac 10+ year member]

Ok so I'm finally tackling a project thats been lurking around for 2- 3 years, I have everything except the wires, and FINALLY graduated //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif so its time to fix a few things up in my junker.

Is E-bay okay, any stores with decent quality wire? (Does it even matter?)

Anything to look for when "wire shopping"?

I've figured out Monster is unnecessary because my boom won't be louder cuz my cable looks cool...

I am getting 8 gauge Power, and 16 gauge speaker wire, so I don't need to go all out.

I am thinking I will do the Big 3 too, any guestimates at # of feet to be on the safe side? Would 4 Gauge be Enough? Its a BMW 328

Thanks for the Help In Advance

try Knukoceptz.com ...what you want to look for is size, strand count, and jacket(need to make sure it can handle heat and oil).

^ Speaker wire kicks ***. Its thick as hell. I bought some from him and used it on my components and it works flawlessly.

there's a huge difference between 4 gauge and 8 gauge.....what amps are you running

there's a huge difference between 4 gauge and 8 gauge.....what amps are you running

Xenon X100.4 amp. (4x100w rms at 1-4 ohms in stereo)

2 Kicker RS 56.2 5.25" (90 RMS 180 peak)

and 4 Infinity Kappa 42.7i (2-50 watts RMS (150 watts peak) 2 ohms

I'm thinking the 2 front to the Kickers, and then 2 of the Infinities in Parallel for one of the rears, and 2 of the Infinities in Parallel for the other Rear Channel.

This is what I would be running I was told 8 would be enough, some suggested going with 4

Go with 4 I have the same amp. The amp is way underrated my birth sheet says 500watts.
