How is this Amp install kit?
Rockford Fosgate RP1734-C
I bought this kit today for my mtx 6500d amp and to 10" Type-Rs. Is this a good kit? The RCAs had gold connections and it was matrix signal cable which I am not really sure what that means. Hopefully this is a pretty good kit. It cost me $130. Are there any different kits I should have gotten? Thanks

Rep Power: 0 I just found this on crutchfield:
Wiring Recommendations: This amplifier uses three 25-amp fuses, so its fuse rating (75-amps total) exceeds that of typical 4 gauge wiring kits, which tend to include a 60-amp fuse. For 75-amp fuse protection, an ANL wafer style fuse is required, but none of the 4-gauge wiring kits include a ANL-style fuse holder. Since pre-packaged amplifier wiring kits cannot be used alone, you may purchase all the necessary items separately, or you may use a pre-packaged 4 gauge wiring kit along with a ANL-style fuse holder and an 80-amp ANL wafer fuse (a 75 amp fuse is not available). If you do not use a wiring kit with the necessary additional items, the separate parts and wiring needed to install this amplifier are as follows:
1 ANL wafer-style fuse holder capable of accepting 4 gauge wire
One 80 amp ANL wafer fuse
2 power rings for 4 gauge cable
4 gauge power cable (to connect the battery to a fuse holder and the fuse holder to the amplifier)
4 gauge ground cable
Remote turn-on cable (speaker wire can be used as remote turn-on cable)
1 stereo RCA patch cables
Speaker wire
Where can I find the fuse holder and fuse that I need?

Rep Power: 0 If I was to keep this kit since i already have it strung through the car and everything, are you saying it will work?? I should have done more research, but will it be OK the way it is now?
