I am going to start installing my amps in my car tonight. I have a JL Audio 300/4 amp for my MB Quart 6.5" components, and I am looking for either 2 500/1's or 1 1000/1 JL amp for my 2 Kicker 12"L7's. I do not have the 500/1's, 1000/1 yet, but it is in the near future. I should be getting the MB Quart components in the mail tomorrow, and I should get the Kickers by this weekend. I know I will need 3 sets of RCA cables to run from the head unit back to the amps in the trunk, power cables, fuses, distro block, ground cables, speaker cables, and I am planning on running a cap.
My main question is how long of RCA cables will I need, and how long of a power cable will I need to run from the battery back to the amp. I figure I should probably use a 1 gauge cable back to a distro block in the trunk and then go to my amps from there. Another question I have is what type speaker gauge should I run to my component speakers from my 300/4 amp? I think this system should sound awesome as soon as I get it setup. Let me know your opinoins. By the way, my head unit is a Pioneer DEH-9400MP.
