zup fam -

Would appreciate if someone can suggest the appropriate distribution block to power:

(1) kicker 04kx1200.1 & (1) kicker 04kx650.4

manufacturer's gauge recommended for the kx1200.1 is: 1 gauge power line.

For the kx650.4 is 4 gauge power line. I called curthfield and they did not have any avaibale and so they couldn't provide a part number.

Thanks fam -

I would suggest 0 AWG power run for this install. Get a distribution block that accepts 0 AWG and can split out int 4 or 2 AWG runs from there. In other words run a 0 AWG from the battery to the dist. block and 4 (650.4) and 2 (1200.1) AWG from the block to the amps. Street wires has some dist blocks that have "Power Ring" conectors that will accept anything from 4 to 0 guage at any given terminal.

P.S. if you haven't already you will need an alternator upgrade most likely to feed that kind of power.,

Dats the one. A side benefit that if you think you need it or want it, a cap will bolt directly onto it. I really like this liitle thing, use them all the time.

cool - thanks - forbid - !

forbidden - can you do me a huge favor - ?

it's took me a lil' while to get all the components for my system (due to many factors) anyway, I finally got everything EXCEPT the cables. I'm hiring a local shop to perform the install but I want to supply them with all the necessary hardware. Can you take a ½ of minute to go over the list below and tell me if I'm missing anything or have the wrong thing - ?

For subs: (2 S10L7's)......Stinger Braided 12 gauge speaker wire.

Speakers: (4 kicker k60's) (should I use the stock cable or same 12 gauge as subs as well?)

Far as the amp kits: I'm buying the LL10DB to distribute power, can you recommend which amp kits I should purchase - ?

am'I missing anything forbid - ? maybe a capacitor- ?

thanks forbid - !

can u send me the wiring diagram for the subs to the 1ohm load - ? I believe the 04kx1200.1 is one 1ohm stable. can you actually wire 2DVC's to a one ohm load - ?

thanks forbid - !
