[QUOTE="Braindead, post: 8159612, member: 654322"] If it's a 500 watt amp then you'll only need 8 gauge. Chances are you can only fit 8 gauge in there anyways. You could probably throw your own kit together and save money, you'll need: Power wire: Knu cca is priced really good and they ship fast. I'd buy of their website. There's really no need for ofc wire unless you're looking to push 6k up. RCA's: Look around online, sonic has some cheap ones for like $6 i believe. I use the NVX ones off sonic, $15 and work great Ring terminals: Look around again, get the ones for your gauge wire. Fuse/Fuse holder: Probably get away with a 50a fuse if you're pushing 500w. Speaker wire/Rem turn on: Get 16 gauge, no need for 12. Buy about 15ft extra besides what you need for your subs because you have to run a 12v turn on from the head unit to your amp. If there's one area to not skimp on to save money its electrical. Go cheap and itll bite you in the ***. [/QUOTE]
