Default Need Help with Amp.

I am slowly buying pieces for my Vette. The HU is already in and I already bought Focal components and Infinity Subs. Now I am picking up an Infinity Amp. Well my question is really about wiring, what do I need. I see all of these kits that are listed but am not sure of what I really need.

Here are a couple of links to what I am looking at:

This is the amp

These are the wires:

If these wires are ok then is there anything else that I would need to buy? If they are no good then can you recommend to me what I need.

Thanks, Nick

So would this set be all that I need? Or are there other accessories/wires that I would need?

Stupid question, what would I need another set of RCA's for? Do you mean more speaker wire? This kit does include 20ft of speaker wire.

Hi Nick. You are going to need two sets of RCA's, one for the front, and one for the back speakers. They will need to be about 15 or 16 feet, depending on were your going to mount the amp. You are also going to need ends for the cable, and special battery terminals.
I would go to Knukoncepts web site and check out what you need (more choices) and go here, good stuff at cheap prices:http://www.sherco-auto.com/

Good luck, Randy

BTW, if you need more speaker wire, just go to Home Depot/Lowes.

Avoid anything from Knu that's labeled "CCA." Also their terminals are a bit junky. Spend the dough for stinger or maybe tsunami terminals.

Would this be everything that I needed to get my system installed?

Nick,
That looks good, but you'll still need a battery terminal to hook up the 4 ga cable to. Something like this: http://www.darvex.com/SPT55308/Sting...+Terminal.html
