amp wiring kit i'm new here. does anyone know what kinda amp wiring kit that i need to get for my amp? i jus bought a Rockford Fosgate Punch 801s but i do not know which wiring kit i have to buy. the seller recommended a 4-gauge wiring kit wit a 60-amp fuse but other sellers selling the exact same amp recommended an 8-gauge wiring kit wit a 60-amp fuse. what's the difference? which one do i have to buy for better quality? one more thing....i've seen some Rockford Fosgate 4-gauge wiring kits but they have a 50-amp fuse. will that be alright for my amp? can anyone also tell me if i should jus buy any wiring kit on ebay or go wit the brand that made my amp?

Rep Power: 329 buy any amp wiring kit, unless you care about the name of it. for subs, there is no significant gain made by paying more for a name brand amp kit. sounds dumb, but walmart has about the cheapest amp kits, and they work just as well as the overpriced branded ones. you will definitely want 4 gauge wire for your amp, thats a pretty good sized amp and 8 gauge won't really cut it. as for fuse, get whatever the kit comes with, if you blow it with loud music than just get a bigger one. 50 might be a bit small, 60 or 80 should be fine.

RF makes a nice kit. Very nice connectors. I seen the Walmart brand before its called RoadGear, looks cheap as hell, the rca wire are chezzy as F@#$. It all depends on what YOU want. I believe the 801s uses a 80 amp fuse. What ever size fuse the amp has, run the same under the hood. (im assuming you are using 1 amp)
Stinger is a brand that offers nice connectors/fuses/wires at a decent price.

Rep Power: 326 RF is great, I use it, def run 4AWG. Monster Cable is also pretty nice. Either way, 4AWG, and a capacitor will help out as well.

Rep Power: 0 cable is cable, wire is wire, its all made out of metal. for your power and ground wire i'd use the walmart 4 gauge. for rca's you dont have to spend all that much, but at least get some shielded ones
