i already have one of these kits and im upgrading to a 2000 watt rms amp. would another run of this wire be good enough, or should i ad a 0 gauge kit?

Depending on your total amp draw for your system you could run two setups but it will look cleaner to just run the one.

Just tune your amp appropriately and it'll be fine. Use a multimeter to tune.

I would recommend 4 gauge for the power wire just in case you decide to change your amplifier you will not have to go back and run over the wires. However this is not a very powerful amplifier and I strongly suggest putting the extra money and buying a better amplifier. What are the 12" subs are you going to use?

I'm running a 1000w Kenwood mono d series amp and it's doing a great job and sounds great. So I'd say 1000w to 1200w is the best safe route to go since it's only has a 700w RMS if your going for two though I'd say a 2000w would push them nicely

For the 100A max input you would use a 4 gauge or 6 gauge for the input wire, but normally you would not be using that much load so you can use a smaller input wire to suit your loads that you require.

I can't remember how big the openings are because I don't have the amp anymore, however, if you already have 8 ran, might as well just use it. Trim the wire to size if you need to. Bigger is better than smaller

We went with a 4 Gauge wire kit like this: Rockford RFK4X 4 AWG Complete Amplifier Install Kit . We also added a 1.0 Farad Capacitor which is probably considered old school by today's installation practices, but it works and the punch from the Sub does not cause dimming of the lights and doesn't get hot. It was a great match up and now for over 6 months has performed very well. We also used a 600 Watt Sony Mono Amplifier as it match the spec's for the sub. Mind you, we don't push the sub hard like others may do... This sub and enclosure combo isn't made to do that, but it does give a pretty decent punch when demanded by the music being played. If you want a lot of punch then consider a different sub enclosure We went with a 4 Gauge wire kit like this: Rockford RFK4X 4 AWG Complete Amplifier Install Kit .

I would, but not that well cause this amp is only rated at 500 wats rms, and 2 12's at 400 a piece is more than it can handle. It would probably start to get warm or even hot.

should be 16 gauge, see link, http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amps-wire-gauge-d_730.html, but i believe the warranty will be void if you alter the cables, check the warranty statement.

I am running a 2200 watt amp at 4 ohm load, and I haven't had the least amount of a problem. I did a ton of research before I bought this kit, and the only thing that I would suggest is that if the amp you are hooking up has fuse of 80 or above to go to their 0 gauge kit, otherwise, you will be fine. You won't find a nicer kit than this! Worth every penny and superfast shipping

Should be fine for basic audio. For High Wattage and high end speakers I wouldn't. I would use a higher gauge. Be careful of some speaker wires. Bought an audio kit for a car and the wire was so brittle, after a few months all the strands broke and no conductivity. It was at a fitting that went in the input to the amp. Caused by the vibration of the car and going over bumps broke it through.

See my review of this amp kit on Amazon. If it does not answer your questions then get back to me.

I would make Shure not to drill threw anything on eather side 1/0 is a little mutch for such a small amp but do wut u do it will work fine use a drill bit a hair smaller then the wire not to small or ull play hell trying to get it threw without ripping off insulation from the wire. Good luck on ur project

I like 16awg speaker wire.it match my home theater installation,i like the big gauge.talk to the guys that do this for a living,they say all three are good.

Use a 50 amp fuse. Also 8 Guage or 4 Guage is sufficient for power wire.amp has about 75-80 watts rms per ch. Mine had a certificate showing 321 total rms (continuous) wattage. Perfect for high powered speakers. Can be bridged for subs as well and 2 ohm stable

I don't know the exact limit of this cable but basically you shouldn't have to worry unless your amps are making around or over 1,000 watts RMS (actual RMS power - don't confuse that with the "Max" power ratings used to market a lot of amps). Although this kit should be fine for 95% of people putting a system in their car, realistically, If I were running 1,500 or 2,000 watt amps I'd go for larger cable. Although 4 gauge is hardly small they do sell even larger car audio power cable for a reason....

Bout the same but it may be smaller gauge then 10. I would go bigger gauge just for piece of mind. I got BOSS 8 g. Kit was I lil smaller then standard 8/but handles 1100w mono and 4 channel 400 watt. Does it with ease
