[swagger_wagon468 53]

so, i tried searchin...but said i cant search for "big 3" because of html codes or something.

but i was wondering, about how many feet of 1/0ga did you guys use to do your BIG 3? i ask because i wont have my car untill next week and im gonna go ahead and order my amp kit, wire etc...

thanks

also, if you would list what kind of car you have that would be great.

i have a 1994 Camry v6

I have a scion xb and i believe the engines are fairly similar. Might be newer camrys I dont know off the top of my head. But I used at most 7 feet. Although I would probably order 10 just to be on the safe side.

Don't know.

What kind of car?

How are you going to route it?

You need to measure it with some string or whatever you use to follow the chosen path.

Are you using this 1/0 to power your amps and so on, if so you'll need even more.

i cant measure as my car is not with me. i just wanna order it tonight with my other stuff to save on shipping. and no, im just getting my amp kit for my speakers now. not for my subs. i still need a amp, box, and extra batt.

Overkill now is just right later.

At least that's my theory.

^X2!!! It is cheaper to have a little more than you need than not enough.

[Bob345 39]

Always buy more than you think you will need.

[Julian 641]

Use string go to route it, it then measure how much string you need.

Seriously?

It's $2 a foot take a good guess and add 10'.

[Randal Johnson 544]

Shortest route possible from point A to point B in a safe manor for the engine compartment.

where is it $2/ft? i was looking at knu and its $3.40/ft. weldingsupplies.com or something like that?

[Hzd Skizzy 27]

Yes, It's around 2$/ft at weldingsupply.com

It's just as stiff is any other 1/0 wire

[swagger_wagon468 53]

well when comparing to "speaker wire" like Knu wire... still the same?

No, but welding wire is nice and plenty flexible to do the job.

Spend double so you can wrap it around your little toe if you want to, but it's not needed.

side note... is 16ga wire good for my front and rear speakers? bravox cf comps and alpine type r's tunning at 85wrms each. (boss zed amp) thanks. (need to kno quick as i am about to order everthing )

[Duran 387]

Yes 16 gauge will work well.

[swagger_wagon468 53]

Yes 16 gauge will work well.

schweeeet. ok ordering the following:

*everything for my speaker install and big 3*

-8ga kit for the BOSS ZED amp.(OFC not CCA) from knu

-extra 6m Karma RCA from knu

-80ft of 16ga wire. (just to be safe. its only $20 from knu)

-15ft of 1/0ga from welding supplies

sound like i have everything?

[Duran 387]

Just make sure the Knu amp kit has remote wire, and your set

yea it comes with the Klarity RCA which has the remote wire "attached" to it.
