I want to wire my system up as close to perfect as possible. The vehicle is a 2001 VW Beetle. Any help is greatly appreciated. I need to know the proper gauge to use, relays (if needed for the amps), which wire to which component and so on. Like I previously mentioned any and all the help would be greatly appreciated. Any diagrams can be email to me at my email address. Thank You

System components

Alpine IVA 300, (2) 10" JL W7, (2) JL 500/1, (1) JL 300/4, (2) sets of components w/ crossovers, (2) Capacitors (if needed) and (4) 5" monitors. I can email the system setup if needed just provide me w/ your email address. Also if you think that I need additional parts please feel free to list them. Once again Thank You in advance.

here is your wires color for your headuint https://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/VW-Wiring.pdf on these car brown is ground or (-). for the gauge of wire i would use 1/0 gauge, you could get away with 2 or 4 gauge. prolbly woundnt need a relay for your amps. with 4 5" screen you may need a video amp or booster

GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the input

I started to run 2 gauge power wire over the weekend but should I use a distribution box so that I can feed the amps?
