Default 4 Channel Amp Install. Opinions on Wire Options please :)

Right now i have an Alipine iDA-X100 head unit and Im looking to run an Alpine PDX 4.150 or a 4.100 (4 Channel amp) with Polk Audio mm6501 in S Pods and another set in the doors. I want to get quality wires but i dont want to spend more than $100 on them. after i did a few searches on here i've been getting some hits on KnuKonceptz wires so i wrote out a list of what i think i need. let me know if should go with another set of wires entirely or if i should upgrade/downgrade some wire options. oh and i will be mounting the amp in the spare tire location.

2x Set Screw Ring Terminals - 4 Gauge Pair $5.00 (1x) $10.00 (Total)
1x NEW Karma SS 4 Channel 4 Meter RCA Cable $18.49(1x) $18.49 (Total)
1x In-Line Waterproof Mini-ANL Fuse Holder (120A) $7.99 (1x) $7.99 (Total)
2 Feet Kolossus Fleks Kable 4 Gauge Black Ground Wire $1.55 (Per Foot) $3.10 (Total)
10Feet Kolossus Fleks Kable 4 Gauge Red Power Wire $1.55 (Per Foot) $15.50 (Total)
50Feet Karma SS 12 Gauge Speaker Wire $0.75 (Per Foot) $37.50 (Total)

KnuKonceptz makes good wire, you can go wrong.

look at the JL audio xd 700/5, besides having a 5th channel for sub it also has ability for remote bass knob. and price point should be same or less

Seems to be the most important part about buying an amp wiring kit is to make sure the power and ground cables are made of pure copper. If it has aluminum mixed in it, it will not perform like the size it is labeled at.

I recently ordered the Scosche Revopak4 which had excellent reviews on Amazon. I think I got the last one though:

Scosche definitely seems to make good wire. KnuKonceptz is also legit. The only reason I didn't go with Knu was because I wouldn't have had them as quickly as I needed.

I actually went with Tsunami for Power, Ground, and Speakers, Streetwires Zeronoise 9 for RCAs and used a circuit breaker instead of a fuse.

Here is the breakdown:

- 15ft. 4 AWG Black Tsunami Wire $30
- 50 ft. 16 AWG Black Tsunami Speaker Wire $25
- 12 Gauge Speaker Wire Subwoofer (Already had) $0
- Remote Speaker WIre (Already had) $0
- 2 Pairs Zeronoise 11.5ft. RCAs $100
- 1 100 amp Stinger Circuit Breaker $33
- Excess connectors etc. (Already had) $0

---------------
Total: $188

A Wiring kit will be easier as they provide you with everything including some of the little odds and ends such as zip ties and or connectors, etc.

I've been running the KnuKonceptz wire now for about eight years and have never had a bit of problems with them.

All of those are good options. Pick up whatever is local and affordable. +1 on circuit breaker instead of fuse, too.
