Amp Wiring Kits

[vnsmanual]

Im looking at doing my first install.

I have a Clarion headunit with three seats of pre outs.

IM going to be running a 2 channel amp off one, powering the front SPL's.

and a mono of another powering to dual subs.

The third will be left blank, eventually powering some back fill speakers.

Now should i just buy two amp wiring kits? what guage wiring will i need?


Are these 8 guage wiring kits fine?

Are those $12.95 kits any good?

for a mono which would be running 2x 500rms subs, what guage kit should i use?


Thanks

How much power does the mono have? It dosent matter what the subs are rated at, they're not drawing the power, the amp is

I would use 2 separate power cable kits (mainly because its simpler), 8AWG should be fine for the 2ch speaker amp.....but for the monoblock use 4AWG minimum.
Those $13.00 kits look like crap, the power cable looks more like 10AWG than 8AWG. The others look "ok" but i'd be more suss on the RCA cables being crappy....power etc looks fine.
The Aerpro one is good value for money, i use these all the time and havent had a problem yet.

The only rule I use when choosing wiring sizes is that I use the biggest cable the amp can take. Let us know what amps you are using and I'll let you know what wiring I would use....

[vnsmanual]

whats happening is i havent brought the amps yet, so i was going to install my headunit and run the wirnig to the boot where the amps will be, im in the process now of buying the amps. for the subs i wanna run ill need a 1000rms amp at least.

so the aeropro ones are ok? but the others i posted are junk?.

[holdenboy]

Pretty much, i would stick with the Aerpro ones.....the others look too "cheap" to me.

If youre going with a 1000wrms monoblock, then it'll have atleast 4AWG inputs, so 4AWG kit will be needed

Can i get away with buying just these two kits.

THe first is the 8 guge for the 2channel, however does not come with rcas?

The second is the 4guage for the mono, now this comes with2 sets of rca's so could i take one from this kit and use it with my 8 guage kit?

then all else i would need to complete the 8guage wiring would be some speaker wire?

This way seems like the easiest and cheapest way to have aerpro wiring.

go sony xpld 8s cant go wrong

[vnsmanual]

how much are they and where should i buy them?

do sony do 4's to?

[wraith]

Being a car audio installer on occasion I would suggest going for the Aerpro kit. Assuming it is genuine ( can never trust ebay sellers) I have never had a problem with them. Comes with everything then and some also have cable ties etc. as well for a real neat install. As suggested 8 gauge for speakers 4 gauge for the subs and you should have no problems. Also note that to get a 1000wrms amp is going to be pretty exy.

strathfield car radio sells the xplode kits for around 50 bucks

Stick to Aerpro, not Sony

[vnsmanual]

sorry what does exy mean?

i think he means expensive

[sweefu]

Aepro gear is pretty decent in my experience, half the wiring in my car is aepro.. If you have a WOW sight and sound shop near by they do it all very cheaply.

Cheers.

well im looking at gettiung two subs each with a 300wrms to 500wrms. so i figure ill need a 1000wrms amp

[vnsmanual]

Ive brought this amp to power my front splits. My splits are SPL dynamics. there 80wrms each speaker.

THe amp is 150wrms x2, so ill just keep the gain down. will this amp be ok to use?
