Just a quick simple question, but how long for a stealthbox, should the wiring be to the back? I just don't want to end up short.

I've seen a lot out there in 17' or 20'? What do you guys have in yours?


Thanks in advance,
Mark

 

Are you wanting to run power wire all the way to the rear? Or are you talking about RCA's?

 

Power Wire...

The BIG 4 or 8 gauge stuff...and idk if there's anything else.

You are the expert...RallyRedTexan to the rescue!

haha

BTW...Received everything...excellent...thanks.

 

just a tip...always go on the long side. It's easier to cut the excess off than having to splice on to make it longer

 

Exactly, I'd go with the 4 gauge kit at www.knukonceptz.com it's a pretty decent kit at a great value. Should save you some money over the Stinger stuff.

 

From battery to that rear deck area..... I think the 17' would be about perfect, but just to be on the safe side.....

Knukonceptz is great. Also check out www.darvex.com and the best deal yet.....!!!!!.....This 1/0awg amp wiring kit from scala1 for $53!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the links.

I was looking at the 4 gauge set on www.ikesound.com for $44 shipped to my door.

I was planning on trying to run the 8 gauge already in my car, but I'm hesitant about it since it was from the previous owner. It probably just isn't worth the hassle and I should just re do it.

Am I overkilling by doing 4 gauge for a JBL 300.1 and a Alpine 10" Type-S in a stealthbox?

 

look at the strand count v/s feet per cost

 

Yes. That is overkill. But that's good in this case! The bigger the wire the better. This way you will have some room to upgrade! Any if you are already spending $44 on the 4g kit, why not spend the extra $9 to get 1/0g??? Scala1 IS ikesound.com, so maybe they will ship it for free. (Like ikesound.com) I noticed the 1/0g kit wasn't on the site, but it's the same brand kits and everything. E-mail ikesound and ask if they have the 1/0 size. More then double the current carrying capacity, for only $9 more.....

 

also, another thing to think about is that if you ever add another amp, all you have to do is put a distrubution block.

 

Which the $53 1/0g kit comes with!!!

 

oh yeah!! I would so that you don't have to worry about running another wire.

 

I think with the JBL 300.1 amp I have, the biggest I can run is 4 gauge. So I think I'll just stick with that. 1 or 0 gauge would be incredible, but I think the 4 will be fine and the best I can do right now.

Thanks for the help,

Mark

 

I think the biggest wire the amp can accept is 4g, but that's what the distribution block is for. Do what you want, of course, but don't you think sometime down the road you will want to upgrade to a larger amp(s). Maybe add a 4-channel amp for your other speakers? And if you can get the 1/0g for nearly the same price...... like I said, do what you want. We are just trying to get you the best deal for your cash.

 

very true. We just trying to save you the time of having to run another wire or having to rerun a new wire. I guess you can say we are talking from experience
