Looking for a quality Sub Install Kit

heefageLA · Dec 24, 2014

Just ordered a sub, amp, and box.
Now im in search of a wiring kit to install the sub.
The amp is pushing 600 watts so I want a 4 awg kit for sure.

What do yall use/recommend ?

Knukoncepts wire kits are great, I also use the skar audio kits as they have nice wire in the but I like the flexibility of knu better.

Kicker CK4, theres wire, then there good wire.

Knukonceptz is on the pricey side for sure, but since I tried their stuff I will never use anything else. Even their massively oversized 1/0ga power wire is still as flexible as you would ever need, their product is simply top notch

This is what I used. Stinger SK4241 4-Gauge Power Amplifier Installation Kit (SK-4241)

The reviews are great and the price is good. Very Flexible and it is Oxygen Free Copper. This kit does not contain RCA's thought they do make a kit that has RCA's for a few more bucks but I would recommend getting some better RCA's than what most kits offer.

Alrighty, thanks again forum gods.

I went with the link below. Bit on the cheaper side but I couldn't justify spending $50+ on an install kit.

Amazon.com : KnuKonceptz KCA Complete 4 Gauge Amp Installation Kit : Vehicle Amplifier Wire And Wiring Kits : Car Electronics

Cheaper at Amazon if you have Prime. Less risk as well for stolen CC.

Etroze turned me on to Stinger products and I like everything I have used so far: power cable, rcas, sound deadener, etc.. Excellent stuff.

I used KnuKoncepts speaker wire on my second install.

I'm using this kit in my current install. Love stinger products. The lower wire is really flexible and the rcas are amazing. If you get this the rca's have a signal direction.

About how many feet of speaker wire will you need to run components n doors and tweets in sail amp behind quad cab rear seat. Not sure if I should get the stinger kit with rcas and speaker wire because 30 ft seems short. Maybe I should buy a roll of 50, 75, 100 and seperate rcas. I am installing a helix DSP behind seat then rcas to amp and speaker wire back up to front. Net audio is making me a factory harness to go from radio to back into DSP. The same stinger kit without speaker wire and rca in only 67 shipped. :3681700201_eef6d1e2

I used 100ft of wire to run 5 pair from the rear of my crewcab to the factory alpine amp under the dash. So 20ft each channel. I did have about 2.5 feet of extra length on each at the back, but that all depends on where you mount the DSP.

Definitely get 100 ft of speaker wire.

Hipps2000 · Dec 26, 2014

Okay great thanks I will get a big roll of 100' what gauge do you recommend? I have ordered the stinger 6000 series sk6241 install kit rated for 1750 watts 175 amps. I got it shipped for $64. Now looking for good speaker wire. I like the knukoncepts they have a few styles not sure which is the way to go. :roflsquared:

I got the Knukonceptz 14 gauge Kord Ultra flex. It's pretty thick, but quite flexible.

Also if you decide to order from KNU I suggest the positive battery terminal with top post. And the ability to add wire without tying into the factory terminal. I'm running just the positive in my truck right now but will all the negative soon so I can run lights, etc.

Thanks! That set up is really nice and clean... I like it... Is the top oem connection and bottom for all add ons in that middle pic? I will def go this route and chk out the neg side as well when I am ordering. Look sweet! :naughty:

Also that battery blanket looks good as well, that's not stock is it?

Yes the top terminal is the stock one. You just put it on top of the Knu terminal. It then gives you 2-3 additional spots to add wire connections. I used to just piggy back off a stock connection but this is more reliable and looks better to me.

The battery blanket is stock. It came on the truck when I bought it.

I really like that and wanted to use one too, but it won't fit with my battery cover.
