zup fam -

I need 2 amp kits!

(I'd like to go w/Lightning Audio or RF)

what amp kits should I use for this set-up:

(1) kicker 04kx1200.1 (pushing 2 S10L7's)

(1) kicker 04kx650.4 (pushing 4 kicker K60's)

Would like recommendation on a 1 farad power cap.

Also, those K60's came w/stock speaker wire, I plan to use a 12gauge braided wire for the subs, can I use the same for the K60's or use the stock cable they came with?)

thanks Fam -

I like the Lightning Audio kits better than Rockford and as far as a cap I like Stinger digitals, Lightning Audio and Monster digital.

I power 2 amps from one amp kit. I used a 4 guage amp kit which runs into my distribution block, has 2 8 guage wires one for each amp. easiest and cheapest way to power 2 amps. Im pushing Alpine MRP-M350(powers 2 JL w'0s in a bandpass) , and Alpine MRP-F240(powering JL 6.5" component Tr's , and JL 5.25 Tr's)

You wont need a capacitor after much consultation i found out they arent really useful for a small system, youd be better off to rebuild your alternator to push out 200 amps

lighting audio and rockford are the same company so there wont be any difference in the kits other than the color of the wire
