Somethin I never knew... 1) I am using thick stereo wire (threaded) for everything including all my grounds and battery wires. I use cheap RCAs for the audio. 2)If the above setup with the thick threaded wire is bad... what should I change? 3)Does length affect quality? For example: If the RCA cable is 24ft long instead of 12ft long, does it have any affect on the quality or anything? What about the ground and battery wires? If they are too long is there a loss in power to my amp, hu, and crossover?
not to sure on the rca cable question. power wire though. i've heard if its too long of a run on a thinner cable you could loose some voltage. not much.a few 10ths but some. thats why if it has to be a long run most people use thicker wire. like 2 or 0 gauge. im right at my limit with my 4 gauge with length and power. if i added a new bigger amp i would have to upgrade it all.
you're gonna want some 4 gauge. this kit is 30$ http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLM-K4 and this one is 52$ http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-AK4 or if you wanted to for 52$ http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLM-AK0 only get the 0 gauge if you plan on some massive upgrades down the road.
