Also, 4 gauge will be fine for that amp. 0/1 Gauge is better if you plan on upgrading in the near future, but for

Alright im pretty set on that kit. BUT, I have dual voice coils (more wiring), so will I need more ring terminals/clip things?

Subs don't use terminals on the end of the wire, you'll put the wire straight to the terminal lead on the sub. Most subs have screw or push terminals, meaning you place the bare wire in, screw. Or push the terminal, place the bare wire in, release.

Only things that will get terminals are your positive and ground cables.

Haha I've always kind of wondered this myself. It's not only with the Knu kit either.

Any power / speaker wire and such you purchase will always be measured in feet (stateside at least), yet RCA's are always found measured in meters... Confuses the hell out of me as to why they do that.

unless your subs have male dissconects. but as stated above most of them are push terminals.

I have never bought a kit, but I def bought rca's that were measured in feet:wow:

Judging by the pictures posted on the link he gave in the OP, they are screw terminals. Therefore, no need for disconnects or any of that nonsense //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

Really? I've bought quite a few RCA's and all have been in meters. I've bought Raptor brand (pink cables) from the local shop, and always have been in Meters. Plus all of Knu's stand alone RCA's are in meters. Kicker RCA's are measured primarily in meters, also in feet but it's converted meters > feet so feet end up being some ugly number while meters is a whole number //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

example:

Clearly that cable was meant to be measured in meters, hence why meters = 3 and feet is like 9.8, lol. I really don't get why, if your gonna make everything else in feet make the **** cables in feet too.

Off topic, but are your RSD subs still in existence? I remember you were feeding them quite a bit more power then recommended, just wondering if any problems came from it. I remember the vids and you were definitely hitting the surrounds mechanical limit, lmao!
