Where do you buy your wiring from?

[nathanVY]

So, looking at doing a few amp installs in both my cars soon. But bugger me I'm not keen on paying $150+ for a wiring kit.

Where do you go to get your kits/ individual wires from?


I'm thinking jaycar... Is there any truth to all this oxygen free super mega twisted interwoven cable?





Cheers

I've gotten every kit I've bought from super cheap - they're like $70.

Thanks for the link sweefu, have you bought from there before?


Also, thinking of going 4 gauge - or is that not necessary?

Also consider jaycar for stuff too, they are usually cheaper

Check out your local welding supplier. In nz boc gas and gear have 35mm cable (2 gauge) for about jaycars. 8 gauge price

Wow, 1/0 kits for $100 posted. Thats not too shabby at all.

Welders flex FTW.

Welding cable is awful to work with, it's very stiff and hard to run through you car.

The wire from KnuKonceptz is awesome, I have bought some gear from them before and am about to order some 50' rolls. Really high quality, flexible cable. If you have a fairly basic install, their 4awg kit should be fine. Their RCA's are great quality, even the entry level items. What amplifiers are you running? This will help determine how big you will need to go.

EDIT: I should say, welders flex is great for current, but it's bad to work with. My 'big 3' upgrade is done in welders flex, because I didn't have to bend the cable much. Trying to get it through a beauty board and into an amplifier is crap.

any store that sells audio should have amp wiring kits,

And lets face it, you wont be able to buy the necessary length of welder flex, the ring terminals, the fuse block, and all the other stuff for under $100 anyway.
