Best Brand of Wire for your buck?

[Polecat]

i co-own a car audio company based out of FL.

no kidding?? who??

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

Who? u mean the company? its small. AA Audio. we're not "official" but that just means we get things cheaper from the wholesaler and can pass that on to our "friends".

 

[Polecat]

have a website? you all make subs, amps, speakers, etc??

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

we dont have a site, but we can get basically anything. if you go to AudioAmerica.com and sign in as a guest, we get all of that, and some.

ahh...cool.

I love my 1/0 kicker kit, easiest run of that gauge wire I've EVER ran...hyperflex is so much easier to route

 

[Doggworld1233]

yea the kicker wire is awesome!!!! and that price is really good!! you cant get a 4 awg kicker kit for that....

 

[foreverfalcon40]

I HOpe thats the one I ordered....Geez, the first system I ever wired, I got 4g wire from Home depot. That wire wouldn't move for sh*T. Gotta love technology!

 

[Backon4]

that is 1/0gauge wire, but they make other sizes.

The 2 leading companies that come to mind besides Knukonceptz is Rockford Fosgate, and Kicker, they bother carry the highest amperage wire, with the highest strand count (induvisual pieces of wire inside the main cable), but the knuconceptz has them both beat by price and strand count.

Polecat, Are you the same guy from SMD forums, and Kicker audio??!?!??
If you is, your one smart man, mang!!!

 

[Polecat]

hey what's up, yes sir, same old guy

Ok, Gonna install it all today.

Jiust want to double check... I'm going to hook up power from the Batter to the Power Cap and then the Disto block? Does the power cap need to be grounded? On my Old system it was.

 

[foreverfalcon40]

**** very much danger......on the cap there should be 2 terminals....+ and a - .....first thing is to undo the power supply the cap goins inline on the (+) side of the power supply and also hook the (-) to the ground inlined with the amp......do NOT EVER EVER EVER TOUCH OR ARC ACROSS THE CAPS TERMINALS....THIS CAN BURN UP THE CARS ELECTICAL SYSTEM AND OR KILL YOU BY STOPPING YOUR HEART.......SO HOOK THE CAP IN BEFORE YOU HOOK UP THE (+) POWER TO THE SYSTEM

I foud this searching online via Wikianswers. I'm a lil confused!
I thinking that I run Power Cap before Disto Block and then hook up ground from 1 amp to the Capand then from the same terminal run a ground to rear seat bracket?

heres how mines set up..

power wire to the distribution block, then i only used the cap for the bass amp, and had the 4 channel straight off the battery.

the cap is very simple, you ground the negative, and the power goes through the positive. so off the positive you'll have a wire to the batt (or distribution block in this case) and another wire from positive to the amp.

i would not use a distro block when i use a cap... i run pos from batt to cap then from cap to amps(bass,mids/highs).. then ground the cap... i use sep grounds for the amps....

Interesting...Why would not use a Disto Block? makes Installtion Easy...
Does that I mean I would have "splice" <can't think of the word but But put two wires in the "same screw thing in the Cap"?

Why do you ground the amp separately?

 

[Doggworld1233]

if you have 2 amps... then you would have 3 rings terminals on the + side of the cap(one from batt,2 to amps).. i like to make my grounds as short as possible so i ground them sep.
