I have a JL 500/1 and 2 12W3s that I got from a friend and am planning on installing in my 05GT. I have never done any installation work before and was wondering if someone could recommend a wiring kit. Ebay would be preferable. Also, I am not planning on upgrading anytime soon.
Thanks

Also,
can someone recommend a LOC (Line output converter) which would meet my needs? Thanks again

LOC from best buy is descent. Get one that handles decent power (30-50 watts channel input)

I would run 4 guage wiring and just about any kit will do.

I would do 1/0 on everything, but speaker wire 10 ga. is more than enough. 12 ga. is more common and practical.

Seight is of the mentality, the bigger the better. I think his power wire is compensating for something else....jk

He's on to something though.

If the guy ever wants to upgrade, then 1/0 is the way to go.

Which would save him money in the long run.

Walmart actually has a kit for $20.00.

A huge lie in Car Audio is that you need to spend mega bucks to get the best wire.

Look, wire is wire is wire is wire.

Electricity will still travel through a foot of lamp wire at 18 cents a foot, just like it would a 3.50 a foot 0g.
