pujolsfan02 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ok so I have a 2005 Mustang GT with a shaker 500 in it. I am looking to replace everything in it. Currently I have (2) Power Acoustik MOFO 122X subs (1500w RMS each), Kenwood DNX-9960 Head Unit, a pair of Kenwood KFC-P509PS speakers (5 - 45w RMS), a pair of Kenwwod KFC-X683C speakers (2 - 60w RMS), and a Power Acoustik STAX5500/1D sub amp (2500w @2ohm). Since the Power Acoustic MOFO subs are dual 2-ohm, i intend on wiring them to 2ohm. My questions are... 1)What wiring kit do i need for my amp? 2)What wires do i need for my speakers? Or should i just use the stock speaker wiring..? 3)What amp do you suggest for my speakers? and what wiring kit do i need to wire it to the speakers? I think those are all my questions.. thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Get 1/0 from http://www.knukonceptz.com/ Also get some 12 gauge speaker wire from them. (for the subs) Edited January 11, 2011 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.

pujolsfan02 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 12 gauge for the subs? doesn't that seem a little small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 12 gauge for the subs? doesn't that seem a little small? No? The amp specs say 12 gauge and the subs say 12 gauge. So in turn get 12 gauge. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

I'm just trying to understand this whole audio thing... 1/0 is power and ground. Amp requires it. Oh also forgot put a 250 amp fuse on that 1/0 Quote Rest In Peace mother.

thecityxignites Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) 1/0 is for power and ground. damn, rebel ninja'd me. Edited January 11, 2011 by thecityxignites Quote 2001 chevy cavalier Rebuild in progress what happens when your CD player skips and you accidentally drop a 22 hz sine bomb at an unholy volume on 7-8 year old subs? Mechanical failure floppy sub knockage on at least 2. well...as i see the level 6 is compared to a lamborghini.....but a corvette? i was thinking more like a chevy volt. its cute and new and "hip", but i would just rather stick my dick in a blender.........

pujolsfan02 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 ahhhhh..... didn't know that. so then i will need a 1/0 for each amp and a 250 amp fuse for each one? that makes more sense now! but what about speaker wire?

Guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) lol jeez guys are you are noobs. that 5500 watt amp, which is the same as the kole version, and all the other brands that have "5500w" amps, have dual 4 gauge power/ground inputs. because of the ridiculously retarded amplifier design that went into that amp, you need 2 4 gauge amp kits. i recommend knukonceptz or stinger wire. find knukonceptz (get the kollosus line) at www.knukonceptz.com those amp kits come with speaker wire last time i checked so you dont really need to order any. and depending on the kit, they come with RCA cables too. edit: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17517_Power-Acoustik-STAX-5500-1D-STAX5500-1D.html 3rd picture, between the power/ground connections, red and white sticker says 4 gauge wire. so its not 1/0. and by the way, $240 is alot of money for an amp that outputs 1800rms that is "low quality" like that. hell you can pick up an audiopipe 1800rms amp for like $180.

UKnoitsMe Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 1/0 for main wire, into a fused distribution block, then into NOTHING less than 4 ga going to each amp for powa, then the amp needs the same size cable to go to a ground. the 12 gauge is for sending the power to the speakers. Quote Man I'm glad I didn't lock this I get to witness two retards holding hands telling each other that it'll be ok because they are awesome.
