Hi everyone, I know this gets posted allot so I will be straight forward and give you all my information and what I require.

I just purchased today a nice pair of subs, or so I think...lol,
Well this is what I got:

2 10" Infinity 1030w subs 250w RMS and 1000 MAX
1 MTX MXA6001 class D mono amp to power them 300RMS @ 4Ohms, 600RMS @ 2Ohms
There in a sealed box by the way

This is what I would like to know:
1) What gauge wire should I use to hook from the subs to the amp?
2) What gauge wire I should use for the remote turn on?
3) Where is a good place to ground the amp?
4) What would be a good RCA cable to use? Should it have features like twisted or super shielded...lol...I duno just giving examples to help better answer my question.
5) Since the subs are only 250RMS would it be better for me to wire them in 4Ohm, or 2Ohm based on what the amp provides.
6) What style fuse should I use, AGU or ANL? And what AMP rating?
7) Last if anyone can give me some ideas on how I should run my wiring across the celi, through the center console, or side panels? Id be happy biggrin.gif

If anyone could help me with these many but hopefully simple to answer questions that would be awesome. I am a newbie at this but I enjoy a challenge.

Hmm..I have defiantly thought about buying a wiring kit, but the only thing that really stopped me from doing that was that I thought I should use 4 gauge wire for the power and ground, and buying a decent kit like that in Canada from what I saw ran about $100. So I was thinking of buying the stuff in bulk or off a big spool from a surplus store or something.

Also the subs are only 4 ohm SVC

But if the Wal-Mart kit will work for me then great, I am goin to pick myself up one of those. So I just also want to make sure that if I do get it, that an 8 gauge wire will work, and I won’t need to worry about some electrical fire that could happen and incinerate the celica…lol
