Just got it in today, gonna do it this weekend. The cable it came with is really nice, never seen cable thats flexible as a wet noodle before. Hopefully itll get rid of that stupid thump from my subs when i turn my truck on. Ill post pics when its done this weekend.

Heres the kit:
All 4ga wire
3' Black (ground to chassis)
4' Black (ground to engine block)
8' Red (power to alt)
10 4ga Ring Terminals.... not sure why they gave me 10 though

that is not going to fix turn on pop! what do you have the remote wire from the amp hooked up too??

 

[Midgetclown]

remote wire is hooked up to the only wire on my head unit wiring harness that said "12v source". very interested in your knowledge because its annoying as hell and i heard the big 3 fixed that.

Should I use 4 or 0 gauge to power two tens to a 1000watt amp?

Click on wire (#16) on the right hand side. Scroll through there and use the calculaters in there to determine what you need. Awesome website!!!

it depends on what you are using for a deck. the prob is timing. the deck and amp are coming on at the same time causing the thump. aftermarket decks will turn the amp on after the deck powers up. if you are using an a/m deck hook up to the blue/white wire. if using factory deck i recommend this.

tracy's kicker's wire is some of the most flexible 0gauge wire around. plenty of strands to vs others too. i use shok and kru personally though.

big 3 will fix voltage issues wont do anything for the thump.
what type of hu are you using?

bigcat, use the largest wire you can use.
im currently making my own dist center in the back of my truck. running 4 runs of 1/0
2 of my big 3 are 1/0 but the wire from my alt is 2/0 welding wire... stupid thick and actually flexible. i know someone that used 3/0 and 4/0 for their systems and the wire was still flexible. its called radaflex 4/0 (thats insane but it'd buy it lol)
not as much a kicker but damn good for that huge wire. i had a few voltage issues and simply that 1 wire solved it but i upgraded my grounds as well
