Default help with some wiring questions please.

ok, i need to know what kind of wires i need to use to get the most i can out of my system.





i have:

a Kenwood 600watt amp, KAC-7285, (to power component speakers)
a Rockford Fosgate 1000watt amp, bd1000d (to power the subs)
Pioneer Component Speakers, max 140watts each, TS-A1655
Two 12" Kicker Solo-Barics, max 1000watts each,
I also have a distributor block.

So, now i need to know everything i will need to wire everything to it's full potential. I want to be running the Pioneer component speakers off of the Kenwood Amp, and i want to power the subs off the RF Amp. Also, is there a store that will sell everything that i need?

thank you.

i dont understand what you are asking...what do you mean what wires you need to get its full potential? as in quality wise?

quality wise, i would just go with a known brand like Monster or Street Wirez.

all you need is an amp kit. it will come with everything you need:

power cable
ground cable
power distiributor
fuse/holder
RCA (2ch / 4ch)
remote turn on wire
speaker wires
and misc crimps and other bits.

the RF amp in that pic doesnt look like a bd1000. i recall those as being HUGE amps. i could be wrong.

with those amps listed, i would go with 0 gauge wiring to be safe, but you might be able to get away with something one step down.
