Wiring Needs

[BoondockSaints 10+ year member]

What do I need for the following system...

______________230x2@ 4 ohms bridged to 2 ER18RNX Mids

Memphis Belle

______________600x1@ 2 ohms to 2 8" AA Assasins

Planet Audio BB-150.2 -> 150x2 @ 4 ohms to 2 Peerless HDS Tweets

Id like to to do the Big 3 as well. I want this to be high quality wiring and such but not sure what all I should buy. Knuconceptz still the best place to pick up most of this stuff?

And by the way the ER18RNXs and the Peerless Tweets are both 8ohm speakers so it will really be:

______________115x2@ 8 ohms bridged to 2 ER18RNX Mids

Memphis Belle

______________600x1@ 2 ohms to 2 8" AA Assasins

Planet Audio BB-150.2 -> 75x2 @ 8 ohms to 2 Peerless HDS Tweets

Also this will all be hooked up to an Eclipse CD7100 and be run active if that matters in the wiring... Any help is appreciated thanks!

Anyone?

Kind wanna get it all ordered tonight so I know what I have left to work with deadening.

Can't go wrong with kicker wiring kits, man... Ya, you need some rca's and speaker wire, thats about all i can think of..

So nothing special for the bridging? And theres a whole but load of different kind of speaker wire on Knu what should I go with? Same for the RCAs? I dont mind spending a tad more for some SQ but I dont wanna **** the bank account either.

OK so not much response to this but maybe you can at least tell me if Im missing anything or if I should get something better.

3 of those for the RCAs...

I think thats what I need. I dont know if thats the guage I need though... Do I need different guages of wiring for different parts of the system, like the subs, mids, and tweets?

Now that I think about it I dont need that much... I have the wires that go from the back of the cab to the doors for mids and another set to the tweets, but the subs are literally 6" away on either side from the amp.

For the wiring kit should I piece one together from Knu? Or just get a Kicker off eBay? Or... should I get the Kicker and say distribution blocks from Knu cuz they seem a tad beefier.

Then for my Big 3, where should I get all the stuff for that?

Anything special for bridging?

EDIT:

14 guage for subs

18 guage for mids

20 guage for tweets

That sound right for the speaker wire?

Also whats the difference in buyin the wires from Frys or Home Depot then Knu?

Will it be an audible difference?
