So I'm getting ready for my deck/amp/sub install and I was just wonding how many feet of rca's and how many ft of power wire you guys think I'll need? The amp/sub combo is getting mounted by the spare tire.

 

Since ur going to mount it by the spare tire, i'd recommend at least 15 feet of power wire (from the battery) and either 15-20 feet of RCA wire. I have 15 ft. of RCA wire and liek maybe 3 feet of it sits in the spare tire wheel well and about 1 foot of Power wire. it's better to have more that you can hide it under the panels then coming up short and having to go buy more wire. The ground wire mine was like 2 feet but i only needed like a foot cuz i used one of the cargo net mounting bolts as a ground. Remote wire should be like 15-20 also cuz it's running with the RCA's, you can also buy RCA wires with built in remote turn on wires (smaller wire in between the RCA's)

 

I'd say just buy a pre assembled amp kit. they come with fuse holder 17ft of power wire 17ft RCA's and the remote turn on wire all in one. Since it's for a subwoofer the quality of the RCA's really doesn't matter

 

actually I'm running two amps, a Phoenix Gold ZX350 for my fronts and an M50 for the Sub. I'd like to run atleast 4 guage power wire and i never see pre-assembled kits with decent sized power wire.

 

Best Buy sells good rockford 4 gauge kits

 

thanks, I'll check it out
