Sub wiring kit?
- Thread starter Typhoon
- Start date
post up in the wanted section, if not, just get a 4gauge vibe one from halfrauds, will suffice.

Cheers Dan, how much do they set you back?

£30 is the cheapest your gonna get tbh. Don't get 8 gauge, its cheaper for a reason

Just went out, and bought a brand new one, (some woman bought it, put it in her car, and hated it so took it out).. 12" Edge 900W Sub, Edge ED7400 400 Watt sub, and brand new wiring kit for £50.
Just blagged her a bit, how urgently I need it, and I've only got £50. Sealed deal!

nice! thats the same sub ive got, but i have the 800W amp and its powering my component speakers in the front as well as my sub
I've just sat the amp next to the sub tbh, I think its good, very punchy, but not overly responsive and smooth, as it has a big port, but it's all personal preference at the end of the day!
Halfords do an 8 AWG Vibe one for £20. More than enough for most subs imo.
As said though they are much cheaper on the net if you can be bothered to wait.

Type in amp power wire and it will tell you on the search function.
All the wires are easy enough to hide, if I can hide 0awg, 3 phono leads, 4 dual speaker leads, then I am sure you will be able too with a small 4awg.

Sounds easy enough then fella.
Still in two minds however.
Amp under passenger seat, or amp screwed to the back of the sub.
What would you do personally?

I would not advise putting the amp on the sub box, it can cause damage to the amp.
If you get a square piece of mdf board pref 12mm, make it a 3-4 inch's bigger than the amp.
Looking from the boot, unzip the backings on the rear seats, and fix the mdf board to the square grid as securly as possible.
Zip it all back up and fix the amp to the board.
That way it will be secure and free from damage off the sub box booming.
Should cost no more than £5 including cable ties and about 20 minutes.

What exactly is wrong with 8 gauge? It's what I have just used to install my amp. Could it have anything to do with the problems I've had http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?678334-Wired-up-my-amp-now-my-car-doesent-start
8 Gauge is fine.
I mounted my amp to the back seat like John said back when I had my 1.2:
