Alright, i have decided on getting the Rockford Fosgate Punch 700X, but now i'm not sure about the 4-gauge wiring kit. The site i'm ordering it from(crutchfield) suggests the Rockford Fosgate kit( http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-unbQ9CL9pxm/ProdView.asp?a=0&s=0&g=711&id=essential_info&i=575RP1732), probably for obvious reasons, but it is $160 and made for hooking up 2 amps, i believe, which i do not need, as opposed to a Lightning Audio kit( http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-FI0OeXSfG9K/ProdView.asp?a=0&s=0&g=711&id=essential_info&i=495SXPK4I) from the same site that is only $70.  Will the Lightning be a good enough kit for my amp, or does it not really make that much difference. I'd rather not spend $120 more for something i don't really need. I'm going to be placing my order today, so if you could give me any feedback the sooner the better, Thanks again.

I think that you can use your money a little more wisely than spend $ 100 on this type of install kit. Are you competing or is this judt for your own pleasure ? If your not competing, then to spend anything more than $ 50.00 on the necessary wiring is extraneous and not worth it. A decent 4 gauge kit with respectable RCA's will run you about $ 40 - 50 . If you want higher end stuff then about $ 75.00 will more than sufficient.

Would not waste my money on the Fosgate one. The lightning Audio one is more practical for your amp but wouldn’t waste my money on that either.  I would suggest saving some money and looking on eBay http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2F/.com%2Fws%2F&krd=1&from=R8&MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&query=+4+gauge+amp+kit especially at this amp kit from Audiobahn http:///.com/dll?ViewItem&category=32808&item=1946212900 have used it and is defiantly worth the $39.00 the only thing you will need is a fuse because both the Audiobahn and the Lightning Audio you were looking at have fuse holders but no fuses. Fuses are cheap only couple of dollars.   http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2F/.com%2Fws%2F&krd=1&from=R8&MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&query=AKIT4Q
