CrownMe Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 hey, I was lookin to see if anyone could advise me on a decent wiring kit. I'm not looking for the most expensive high end shit, I want affordable quality. I've looked into KnuConceptz and their prices look good to me, I just dont know what kit to go with. Any help would be greatly appreciated (doesnt have to be by knuconceptz) HU : Alpine IDA-X100 Front: Coming Soon Rear: Coming Soon Sub: 15" Fi Q (no plans on upgrading anytime soon) Mono Amp: Sundown SAE 1000D (no plans on upgrading anytime soon) 4Channel Amp: Coming Soon Another thing I was wondering was will I need a Kinetik Battery, or a new high output alternator on a 97 Accord, or will re-wiring (Big 3) be fine for this setup without killing my car Bought from : decafcappucino, and dwright27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get some headlight flash with the stock battery for sure. 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 if ur going to add a 4channel u need either two runs of 4 gauge or 1 run of 1/0 be careful when buying a kit and make sure it includes everything you need i usually suggest kicker pkd1 kit then just buy the rcas you need.... this will allow you to double ur existing power without needing to upgrade power... you will benefit from getting the largest bat up front to replace stock too..... what amperage is ur stock alt btw.... knukonceptz is pretty much the cheapest but best wire for the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownMe Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 thanks, for the replies, yea Im leaning towards the 4 gauge KLM kit by Knu, but I was wondering if I could get a kit for multiple amps, something like: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...5RFK4D&tp=1469 but cheaper, if I were to go with the KLM kit I guess I'd need to buy like one of the 4 gauge for the mono amp, and an 8 gauge kit for the 4 channel plus a distribution block? oh and btw the alternator is 80 amps, from what i've been reading it will have lights dimming, but thats fine, as long as it doesn't just kill my alternator, i wont be like running the system when the car isnt on or anything like Bought from : decafcappucino, and dwright27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm1689 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 personally i would go with 1/0 for the sub amp. i usually try to stay away from kits. especially the 1/0 kits, with the price of them some times its cheaper to buy everything seperate and even if its the same you can pick out everything you want. i would suggest buying some 1/0 buy the foot. with it being an accord your run(s) shouldnt be that long. if car audio specific brands are to much you could look into some decent welding wire. ive seen multiple places that have 1/0 for about $2 a foot. that would be better than any 4 guage R.I.P.

Stephen Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think you will be fine with quality 4 gauge. 4 gauge should carry atleast 120 amps. The sundowns fuses only total 90 amps and i doubt it would ever pull that much. but i would just get the pkd1 kit. Ebay has great prices on them. maybe these rca's you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

jcm1689 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 http://www.cableyard.com/catalog/product_i...;products_id=32 if your not gonna run a short ground to the chasis you only need about 25-26 feet to do your power ground and big 3. then just get a cheap fuse block and some rca's. all of that wold probably run you about 80 or 90 buck's. i cant even say that ive seen a 1/0 kit for that cheap (not saying there isnt one out there) and on top of it if you buy a kit regardless wheather its 4guage or 1/0 your gonna have to buy some wire and connectors on top or that for the big 3 R.I.P.
