wiring kits

Lets see how it looks on paper...

16year old + No Job = No money to keep changing the system out

But on a real note, I just started my 1st job @ 17 and man has it opened many possiblities of what I can get now. Im spending about 600-700 on my system (audio and video), which is one months paycheck working an average 25hrs a week (during school). I suggest you try to find a job around town, you dont know what it feels like getting paid and being able to buy whatever you want not having to count your pennies. I cant wait untill all my stuff arrives...

Also, I had that amp it was great. But sold it to a friend when I wanted to "upgrade" to my bigger system. That was about a year ago and I still miss that amp and bass in general...

Well thats a great system and should last you a long time...

Make sure you get the Dual 4ohm K

 

[bshime45 10+ year member]

yeah, it's already here got the box... need the amp, and wires

Oh by the way, did you know Walmart sells decent Stinger wring kits? Like 16 for an 8gauge and 27 for a 4gauge kit...

EDIT : Correction Scosche (the 4gauge would be a deal)

[bshime45 10+ year member]

right, doens't come with speaker wire, and i don't need 4 gauge wiring, so i figure coceptz price is like 20+ shipping for everything ill prolly just go with that

 

[Woodmister 10+ year member]

Yes, that should suit you very well...

 

[bshime45 10+ year member]

also i have another question what is an amp fuse.... on the amplifier it says only 20 amp fuse rating... on the kit it says fuse holder with 50 amp fuse????

 

[Woodmister 10+ year member]

That means that the fuse on the power wire, also known as the inline fuse will not allow more then 50amps of power to go to the amp. Now the fuse on the amp, also known as the on board fuse will not allow more then 20amps to pass through the amp potientially damaging it. I dont know how many times, well about 3 I blew that on board fuse and it still worked, and I blew the inline a couple times. It does not matter that the fuse is bigger then the one on your amp. Just might want to order a few 50amp fuses from knu, since they cost like 7bux for 3 @ Best Buy and why not just order them while you can for cheap...

 

[bshime45 10+ year member]

ok, those are pretty cheap.... what do they do?? do they decrease the amps of power going to the amp??? i know that sounds confusing.... i am confused....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Keeps the amp from getting "volted" with too much volts from the battery if there is a jolt in the alternator or in just in the electrical system. You will know when that happens by when the fuse pops (which is good because it protected your amp).

The fuses dont decress the amps power, maby if you get a too small of a fuse then it might...

 

[bshime45 10+ year member]

ok... buy three of those 50 amp fuses, where do i put them

 

[Woodmister 10+ year member]

In somthing like this, basically called a fuse holder or inline fuse. It comes with your kit. And one wire runs though one end and out the other, within 18" of the battery. Best place to mount it is on top or beside the battery...

 

[bshime45 10+ year member]

ok the kit says it comes with one 50 amp fuse.... should i buy some more anyways?? also what do these things do from the kit?

im goin to a party right now, so i won't be on until later tonight, and by theway thanks for all of the help

 

[Woodmister 10+ year member]

Thats all fine, but pick up some of these. You shouldnt need more then 3 extra ones

Also the wire loom goes under the hood of the car, and surrounds the power wire to keep it free from water and heat. No problem with the help, just ask if you need some more...
