I currently have 2 kicker comps 300w each and a 400w 2 channel amp with a 60 fuse in it. I've searched all over the internet and all the information ive gotten about what to use has confused me. I drive a 1995 Lincoln Towncar if that helps. Can someone plz clue me in on what to get.

a wiring kit? well, u can order a professional stinger kit, but thats only for show IMO as wiring is wiring unless u get the high grade high strand, and that event only improves ur performance a little. Scoche makes good wiring and u can usually get a good kit from walmart of theirs, other wise check out some local shops. Online kits usually have lower grade crappy wiring, thats why those ebay sh*ts are only $10. Pay $20 for an 8 awg wiring kit from Scoche and u'll be fine for that setup. If your really concerned or plan to upgrade in the future spend $5 more for the 4 awg kit.

yeah, that should be fine. 8 awg can usually handle up to around 800 watts before performance gets bottled off which is around 60-80 amp depending on the voltage draw.

You should really buy a 4 gauge kit, so you don't strain your amp for power. And yes, some of the cheaper amp kits have crappy rca's if your buying a full kit, so usually price does matter. Stinger, Rockford Fosgate, and Streetwires all make excellent kits. Here is a good one.

well, it (IMO) depends on wether or not u plan to upgrade in the future. If ur just doing it for now and dont plan to, the I'd say 8 awg is fine, but if u plan on replacing the system in the future, definately go with 4 awg.

Sorry, I didn't read the post where he stated he had a 30 amp fuseWhat wiring kit should I get? -- posted image.. If that is the case then definitely use an 8 gauge kit.

my advice is always get 4 g,  the lower gauge is never going to hurt the system, and that way if you ever get a better system you dont have to worry about rewiring...$25 from walmart will get you a fine kit, fuses and everything.
