[stuartQPR1]

its pretty easy to do mate, where have u ordered all this from?

[G_sus]

got it from caraudiosecurity.com is that easy to do for someone who has done it before or to a newbie?

[stuartQPR1]

easy to do first time, i managed 2 do mine ok when i first got all the audio equipment, and i didnt have a clue!!. Usually the wiring kit you get with it will have a diagram of where all the wires go etc and theres plenty info you can find on the net.

[G_sus]

that was the other question to wire up all the equipment i listed how much an what wirin stuff will i need??

[stuartQPR1]

u will have to order a amp wiring kit. did you buy the sub and amps as a package? if so you would get a wiring kit aswell

[saxx]

we found mine a roayl pain in the backside to do!!

[G_sus]

thats doesn't sound to good^^

No it wasn't a package so ill need to by a amp wirin kit
what wirin kit should i get for

1) the amp to the two subs?
2) the amp to the components?

[stuartQPR1]

amp to the components will be simply standard speaker wire, you should get this with the components in the box.

For wiring the two amps to the battery terminal, the best thing to do would be to buy two good quality amp wiring kits and run them seperately.

You are gonna need something like this:

yea got wire with the components so thats that sorted

link don't work for the other wire though

[stuartQPR1]

go on caraudiosecurity and type in amp wiring in the search box. link was the second item

[G_sus]

this one : Kit contains:- 8-Gauge Terminated power and earth cables, Blade fuseholder and spare 40amp fuse, OFC 5m phono cable, Remote switch lead, 2m subwoofer speaker cable and speaker terminals for ampliier and speaker.


An will i need one of these or two rememberin im hookin two subs up to the one amp? thanks again for all your help mate

[stuartQPR1]

well ur gonna need another seperate phono cable, remote switch lead and earth cable 4 sure. Personally i have got 2 wiring kits for my 2 amps as i think it sounds better and no power is lost. u may wanna get some advice from others on this one, but thats how i would do it mate.

[G_sus]

but can i wire to amp wirin kits up to the one amp?

[stuartQPR1]

i would wire each amp seperately, using a seperate kit 4 each

[G_sus]

slight change in plan looks like i'll just gettin one 12 sub an the hexagon amp so this makes this a bit simpler ( pos addin other sub at later date) so one sub an one amp equals one wirin kit????

[stuartQPR1]

yeah mate one amp will just require the one kit and makes things a bit easier. When are u thinking of installing it all?

[G_sus]

over the next couple weekends i think. Glad the one sub amp thing makes it more simple

[stuartQPR1]

prob best 2 start with one 2 b honest mate. I could send u some pics of my wiring if u want?? might help

[G_sus]

that would be magic mate thanks, really aint got a clue bout the technical side of ICE.

[stuartQPR1]

will try and take some this weekend then mate

[G_sus]
