Questions without info usually don't get answered. How about amp make, model, or specs, power wire size, etc... What needs to be helped, is there a problem that needs to be fixed?

No, Only if you uprgade your amp kit.
For exampleb from an 8 guage amp kit to a 4 guage.
It all depends on how many "watts" or RMS does your amp put out.
Also it would be best to get some new RCA cables.
Due to the fact that the ones that come with the amp kit it not very good. They are very generic. (blue ones?)
Monster RCA Cables are superb.

Boy, am I in the wrong business.  I should be selling amp kits and RCA wires.  Let me ask you this, did you install the amp and are having trouble?  If so, probably something other than the wire that came with the amp.  If not, there is no reason to buy an additional wire kit.

It definately wouldnt hurt a thing to upgrade your RCA's.  Prolly wouldn't be accomplishing much to upgrade the power/ground wires as long as they're the guage is right.

If your installer sees that the wire is insufficient he will recommend an upgrade.  Go with his recommendation.

It has nothing to do with being a smart ass. It has to do with you giving a half assed effort at asking the question. Its hard for us to tell you if you need a better amp kit when we dont know what amp kit you have to start with. After the second post we found out what amp you had but you still didnt tell us what amp kit you have or what guage of wire it is. So with out the proper info we cant answer your questions and thats why you get the run around answers. But with that being said, that amp needs 4 gauge wire to properly operate.
