Couple of questions for a electrical dumbass!!

Just "aquired" (not nicked!!) a 2000w sub with a amp attatched to it and wired to the speakers. Do I need a full wiring kit for this or can I get a power, earth etc seperate?? Plus do I need 2000w cables??

On another note i've just bought a double din touchscreen head unit.

1. I did have a Sony 6cd, any suggestions on a loom to connect?? I found this one.

2. Will I need a facia adaptor. Like this?

3. Before I removed my Sony I found out that they go in at a sideways angle, yet when I removed it it was straight. Will the cage supplied with the new 2DIN head unit fit into this space? I dont mind a little cutting if necessery.

Cheers guys...

you would need a Amp wireing kit for 2000w amps

the kit should inc:

Fuse and Holder
1m Earth wire 8awg
5m Live Wire 8awg
5m Remote wire 16awg
5m RCA Lead L/R
about 8 fitting plugs
& tie wraps
and may be some 14awg Speaker wire ( for Normal Speakers not Sub )

this kit should alowe u to fit the Sub/Amp to your Headunit

u will need to route the main power and RCA/Remote down the sides of the car ( Power on N/S ) RCA on O/S

8awg aint gonna be enough for an amp rated at 2000w. Id be looking for 4awg minimum

My D class mono sub amp is rated to 1000w at 1ohm and im running an 0awg kit.

8awg is ok ... remember his Amp will be 2000watt Peak PMPO ... about 600watts RMS

your mono block class D 1ohm diffrent all together

May be a 4awg would be better anywyas

American Wire Gauge
all the car wiring kits are rated/sized as its the thickness of the wire basicly
