Default Amp wiring kit

Ok, what is a good amp wiring kit and where can I get it? I need something that can handle up to 1600 watts.


Thanks!

ebay.... although they are a dime a dozen and most will do the job, keep in mind that you should purchase your RCA lines for your mids and highs seperate. A good quality RCA line for your mids and highs will help with clarity and noise... dont skimp on these. The rest of the kit will work just fine.

My $0.02 ;)

What kind of amp(s) do you plan to use? If the amp(s) are really capable of making 1600 watts then your total fuse rating should be about 150a.

A 150a load is going to need at least 2 gauge wire. You could run 0 or 2 gauge back to a distribution block and then run 2 or 4 gauge to the amp(s). Your grounds should be the same gauge as the 12V feeds. I would run 0 from the batt to a block just to be safe.
