i got a infinity 7541a 4 channel amplifier 111x4 rms...what kit would i get?? thanks

 

buy what ever brand you prefer and buy a kit that will match the largest size of wire that your amp will accept but if you plan to add more amps in the future get over sized wire like 1-0 awg and use a distribution block

 

I am no fan of the "every thing you need amp kits" the RCAs a always way to long, and you end up having to "wad" the extra someplace, if you can find the power only kit, get the one with 4x111=444W a 4ga power cable http://www.the12volt.com/wiring/recwirsz.asp and one with an ANL type fuse holder is best. 94

 

agreed ^^^^

don't forget to run your power wire on the opposite side of your speaker/rca wires.

 

is there any thing against ebay wiring kits?? would it be ok to juss get those 12 dollar, 2100 watt, 4 gauge kits from ebay??

But then again, at $12 you can just get a set the right length and just not use the ones in the kit 94

 

other than the long rca cable, is there anything wrong with the quality of the cheap ebay wiring kit wires?? also whats the difference with higher wattage kits and lower ones?? is it bad to get those 2000 watt kits for my 444 watt amp?? cause im thinking about juss getting those cheap 2000 watt kits and buying another rca cable since you said it would be too long...

 

They are generally not too bad, just be careful to install it properly and buy an rca the right length and it should be fine. (provided you buy the right size power/ground cable for you amp.)

 

I'm running that exact same amp and a 400 RMS 4 channel on a 4 gauge Tsunami kit. I will need bigger wire if I get stronger amps though.

 

Most wire sold for automotive stereo systems is TEW wire, [multi strand]
There ar 2 things that make good power wire for car amps OFC [oxygen free copper] wire and lots of strands of it.
The gage of the wire will depend on how much current, [amps] you need to draw through it and how far, or how many watts of power and how far is it from the batt./alt. this chart will help http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp
HINT... the best power/ground wire you can get for your amps is good welding cable

i dont know much about wiring and systems, so why is this a problem?

 

Power cable can create noise if you run it right next to the rca cable. You can use some of the plastic shrouding to cover the power cable to help prevent it.

bump up for a quick question....does running the speaker wire next to the power cable also create noise?? or is it just the rca cable?? and can i get a example of a plastic surrounding i could use??

 

^^

 

On that amp you don't need such a huge kit. (4 guage). If you plan on adding another amp at some point I would go ahead and get a 4 guage kit, if not go with something smaller like 8 guage. It be over kill with the 4 guage unless you plan on adding later on.

Also you could encounter some interference if you run any wires next to your power wires.

 

yea i got myself a 4 gauge allready installed just need to know if its possible to put speaker wire on the same side as the power wire?? thanks
