Wire lenght

All right, I finally got my amp. I need to know how much of each wire I need to get to wire the amp and subs up. I am going to go to Home Depot and buy the wires.

The best thing for you to do is to go to your local Car Audio Specialty shop and buy a pre-packaged amplifier installation kit. Not only will you get the correct wiring, but it will also come with a fuseholder and all the terminals and accessories that you will need to do the job correctly.

i'll even one-up you on a good deal. go to walmart, check out the car audio section. forget about the amps/speakers/decks/etc. however, they have some of the best prices on wiring kits, wiring harnesses, and and install kits. $25-30 for a 4ga wiring kit is a great deal. you cant even buy 4ga wire by itself from a stereo shop for that price. i bought an extra one just in case i ever need more wire. but it wouldnt hurt to buy a better set of interconnects, but whatever's in your budget.

Yeah, I saw those wiring kits at Wal-Mart, and was considering getting one of those.
