I would use this site... http://www.sonicelectronix.com/cat_i857_car-audio.html Really cheap prices. Far better than what you'll find locally.

Wires are Wires.. I don't think you can screw that up, and why pay more for the same thing?

good, atleast you have something decent for them..

i have just deck power going to my speakers currently. i really should be running my mids and highs off my flex 4 amp..

i also have a Kicker ZX460 4 channel amp, but it likes blowing speakers up, so it would most likely turn my 3.5 & 4x6 speakers inside out..

*i used to have the end caps, the amp link, and a Kicker ZR360? amp also.. man, when you had those things all connected up, it looked like one gigantic amp, about 4 feet long*

I had a kicker amp like that it was the 400watt version, it kept self grounding and they finally gave me store credit...

ricer wiring.


Real cars get sjow or something like from a local electrical supply house. Nicer jacket, and I know it'll do power.

Ive fit my infinity 3.5 in my dash, that was alot of time on the dye grinder and a dremel tool to trim away some metal to get it to fit and also test my 6x9, it is barely enough to fit, im thinking i could of went with a smaller speaker...

A quality 5x7 will still put out good sound, plus your running a sub right? No need for 6x9's if your running a sub.. unless your not running crossovers?
