Wiring Kit Advice

[CrownMe 10+ year member]

hey, I was lookin to see if anyone could advise me on a decent wiring kit. I'm not looking for the most expensive high end shit, I want affordable quality. I've looked into KnuConceptz and their prices look good to me, I just dont know what kit to go with. Any help would be greatly appreciated (doesnt have to be by knuconceptz)

HU : Alpine IDA-X100

Front: Coming Soon

Rear: Coming Soon

Sub: 15" Fi Q (no plans on upgrading anytime soon)

Mono Amp: Sundown SAE 1000D (no plans on upgrading anytime soon)

4Channel Amp: Coming Soon

Another thing I was wondering was will I need a Kinetik Battery, or a new high output alternator on a 97 Accord, or will re-wiring (Big 3) be fine for this setup without killing my car

I would got with the Rockford 2awg kit, or better yet, the Kicker PKD1 0awg kit. Either one will be plenty for your setup, but will leave room for more power later.

i bought the KLM kit from knu. Cheap and does its job.

pretty much any knu 4ga kit will be proper for that much power. do the big 3 and see how it works out. might wanna add an extra battery down the line.

thanks, for the replies, yea Im leaning towards the KLM kit by Knu, but I was wondering if I could get a kit for multiple amps, something like:

but cheaper, if I were to go with the KLM kit I guess I'd need to buy like one of the 4 gauge for the mono amp, and an 8 gauge kit for the 4 channel plus a distribution block?

hey, Ive decided to cancel out the idea of a kit, and just go with buying wire individually. Would anybody be able to hook me up with a simple wiring Diagram?

I would've been cheaper in most cases to get a kit...

Till you add the $20 ship rate - good lord......

In general if installing one amp, a kit is a better bargin UNLESS you already have things like speaker wire and RCA cables, thats half the kit right there

see I ran into this Kit on ebay for $90 shipped, but I was talking to someone, and they were saying they got hit with $50 customs charges, when shipped to Canada, that shit is just ridiculous.

and I dont know how good Scosche products are, and if they're worth the price. Especially since I've see people on here selling the Kicker PKD1 for 100 shipped on here that will mark it as a gift for me, and I will avoid customs
