If I Do Decide To Do The Install Myself... - MAlby7 - 05-29-2004
I need to know exactly what I need for the install. I am talking about accessory parts here. Just in case you guys need the reference of what pieces I have in my car here's the list:
DECK: PIONEER 7500MP
SPEAKERS: INFINITY 6802CF (6"x8")
SPEAKER AMP: JL AUDIO 300/4
SUB AMP: JL AUDIO 500/1
SUB: JL AUDIO 10W7 WITH CUSTOM SEALED BOX
From all the stereo store guys I've talked to, I've understood the follwoing:
- I could use 4ga wire as a power wire to power my two amps that take 4ga each.
- My speakers wire should be 14ga
- I need a ASN (or ALS) fuse with a blade fuse in it.
- I need a distribution block to split the power wires to the amps.
- "The Big 3" would be beneficial.
What other words of wisdom do you guys have for me? If you guys could compose a list for me of exactly what I have to go buy before the install (ie. wire type, gauges, etc), and where I could buy it, it would be greatly appreciated.

some other things you might need are:
1. RCA Cables
2. Adpater Plate for head unit
3. Wiring Adapter for focus
4. Power Wire and Fuse holder
5. Speaker Wire
if anyone else can think of items that need to be added to list pls add them and help MAlby7 out.

Well right now I have 3 RCA Cables but I'm going to replace one because I don't think it's that good. So I have the following:
1. RCA Cables
2. Adpater Plate for head unit
3. Wiring Adapter for focus
4. 2 Good RCA cables
5. Remote wire (not sure if it's ok)
Need larger diameter power wire and ground wire. I already have a system in my car with a 4 channel amp and speaker wire, so I'm not exactly sure what I can change and what I can keep.
