Default Good online store for audio stuff!

I bought all my audio equipments: amps, head unit, component speakers, sub, sub box. I'm missing all the wires, cables, power taps and all that good stuff.

What is a good online store to order these, and what do you guys recommend for the wire cables and power taps? What brand is good but not too expensive?

www.knukonceptz.com

I'm quite pleased with the quality of the wiring I'm using in the high SQ build in my truck.

I built my own RCAs.

www.markertec.com has bulk cable (if you want to make your own) and pre-made RCA cables.

www.bluejeanscable.com also sells RCAs (custom lengths), but is geared more towards the home theater side of audio. The prices are phenomenal given the quality of the cables, however.

second knukonceptz.com

I have their Krystal RCA cables and Karma SS speaker cables. Very reasonable price and well constructed.

Their amp wire/kits, I'm sure, are fine as well. But I got a great deal on a Kicker kit, which I discovered has the most flexible thick-gauged wire I've ever seen. Consider one of these:

Can anyone suggest how much speaker wire I will need to run to the front speakers from a 2 channel amp mounted behind the passenger seat? The nice kit from KnuKonceptz includes 20 feet, but it's 12 guage (too big) and I want to run it like darkknight showed, under the door seals and through the wire grommet in the door.

is it the "new" Kolossus Fleks Kable, or the standard Kolossus? i haven't had either in my hand, so can't comment one way or another. but from the pictures on the Knu website, the Fleks jacket looks pretty similar to what's on the kicker.

i just looked up my order confirmation from a while back, and i purchased 50 ft of the 16ga Karma SS speaker cable. i have my amp on a board in the spare tire area, and had some cable left over after the install, but not a ton. still sounds like a lot though... hmm

I wouldn't say 12ga is too big. In fact, that's what I plan on running to the door speakers in my truck.

Just go to Home Depot and buy 30ft of lamp cord (12-14ga). Wire is wire, and it's more about gauge than anything else.

yessir, it is. I love how flexible it is (and probably less expensive than the Kicker stuff, no?)
