Wiring Kits

[Christophe]

Whats a decent wiring kit to power an amp for a sub. 500watts rms.

There is so many?

2-4 gauge will be fine

 

[Kneel]

the £30 autoleads stuff will do the job nicely, its 8gauge wire so should be plenty decent enough for the amp

 

[Christophe]

Is it the higher the gauge the better?

 

[Kneel]

the higher the gauge the more power it can handle iirc.

 

[Christophe]

so how come this http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/6013.html is cheaper than http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/6732.html

Is there much difference between them?

 

[Dink]

the higher the gauge the more power it can handle iirc.

more current it can handle

yeah the second is an 8 awg kit and the first is a 10 awg kit.

tbh if you are running 500wRMS i'd use 4 awg like this

thats it, thanks . wiring kits im still not very brushed up on. Was told to use 8gauge and never looked at anything else....

lower the gauge the better you mean..........

 

[Dink]

yeah sorry

i'm used to working with mm2 rather f**king dumbass yank sizes

 

[kpowell911]

LOL @ Dink.

Basically, I'd say 4 gauage is a safe bet for most systems you are going to find in the back of a Clio.

I remember whe na 4 gauage wiring kit was ub3r expensive, and 0 Gauge kits were rare as f00k lol!

 

[Christophe]

o rite so its the lower the better. How come http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/value-px009-4awg-p-204.html?cadid=75e71b25dc39ce6d8a61c279ba90a8ca is cheaper than some 8 gauge ones? Surley should be more as its less gauge.

its cad value but stick to a particular decent make,CAD value wiring i wouldnt use imo

why not?

most wiring kits are over priced tbh

the cad value one is probably cheap cos the they buy in bulk

i used some flexible cable i found in work for my amp and it does the job. as long as it has the right c.s.a and made of copper it doesn't matter who's name is on it

lol i powered my amp with some 6mm2 twin and earth for a couple of weeks until i got my hands on a wiring kit.
