Hi i bought a sub with amp and box second hand but have no wiring with it. Its a sony amp and sub. Just wondering which wiring kit ill need. Its a 2 channel amp with not much power but im planning on getting one with more power soon. Just want to get this one wired up first to see what sounds like. Been to halfords but their about 30 quid and i only paid that for amp sub and box. Can anyone reccomend a wiring kit for a decent price. Cheers .

10 gauge will be fine if it's nothing special so: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMPLIFIER-WIRING-KIT-1000W-POWER-CAR-AMP-10-AWG-GAUGE-SUB-VAN-CABLE-FUSE-AUDIO-/400666334111?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Terminals_C abling_ET&hash=item5d4993139f
That's dead cheap. But if you are planning on running more power in the future then you may aswell get something a bit thicker so you don't have to take it all up again.
Up to you, but on a cheap, low power system you don't need anything special.

Got the kit yesterday. Im not sure on two wires though. Ive figured out power cable and cable for radio to amp and speaker wire. Theres a short thick cable and a thin blue wire. Which one is the earth? Cheers

How do I connect the power cable to the battery. I have one of those clamps that undo by hand on mine.
