O Gauge Wire Kit
Wiring Kit + Amp?

Is this a good wiring kit to go with this amp?

its a good matching, its a cheaper brand cable, so ita likely not a “real” 4 ga, and it would in no way handle a 1800 watt system, but for your 500 watt system it is a good match. in fact the amp has 2×40 amp fuses or 80 amps total same as the cable. usualy the cable fuse is set for the limitation of the cable. so it will provide all the power that the amp would require. it looks like there is plenty of everything, so no worries there. yu may want more split loom to make it look better, but its not needed.
i do feel obligated to show you a link, these guys have great cables at unbelievable prices. i have thier 4 ga kit on a 800 watt system and it runs it beutifully, and its cheap. you buy factory direct, so there is no middle man.
take a look, you may like it better than the phonics digital kit. i know its better quality, but it may cost a bit more.

O Gauge Wire Kit

Perhaps you’re wondering, “Who carries a pocket knife anymore?”

If so, your next self-directed questions ought to be, “How often am I grabbing the kitchen cutlery to cut twine for gardening?” Or, “How can I quickly dispose of the boxes after my kid’s birthday party? Or even, “For heaven’s sake, how do I get to the actual toy in those boxes with all of the insane packaging?”

Carry a trusty pocket knife- a good one- and you’ll have a handy go-to tool that you’ll use much more often than you might think.

If you are not in the military or law enforcement, and are not an avid outdoors-person, you may have never considered getting a pocket knife. But having one on hand makes sense, even if you’re not in law enforcement or the military; even if you don’t hunt or fish.

Not all pocket knives are the same, so it helps to keep few things in mind when you look for one that will suit your needs. One, with the host of sites offering discount knives from top brands, there is no reason that this purchase should break the bank or even dent the budget. And two, always put safety first, for yourself and your family, keeping knives away from little hands and using all safety features in the knife’s design.

How Might You Use Your Knife?

The first thing to think about is the ways in which you will use your new knife. Let’s say you are truly urban, do not have a backyard to tend, and don’t often set foot outside the city limits. You can still benefit from a quality pocket knife. Think about:

• Breaking down boxes after a move
• Opening packages in the mail
• Opening products wrapped in “high-security” packaging
• Cutting rope, wire, plastic or other materials for decorating
• Self-defense

What if you are a member of a suburban household? You take care of your yard, make trips to parks or nature preserves, perhaps go on camping or hiking excursions from time to time, so you can use a good knife for:

• Cutting limbs and small branches that fall into your yard
• Cutting boxes and other large cardboard items
• Cutting twine, string, and other materials
• Camping uses-which are virtually endless
• Cutting tangled fishing line
• Whittling

Truly, you would be amazed at the number of times your pocket knife comes in very handy, once you have the right one.

Design

Once you realize that having a pocket knife in your possession is a pretty good idea, its time to choose one. It won’t be long before you notice that your options are endless and you may have to just let yourself be stunned for a moment at the huge market that exists for knives of all types and pocket knives in particular. But don’t be overwhelmed-there’s one that’s right for you and you can find it.

A few design details you’ll want to look at and consider:

• Size and length of the blade
• Blade type and material
• Handle shape (think ergonomics) and materials
• Design features, such as the retraction of the blade or additional tools

If you are single in the city, you might prefer a small, but quality steel pocket knife with a retractable blade; something you can grab in a flash to open a delivery box. If you are the occasional outdoorsman, a larger knife may be better. You might consider shopping from the affordable tier of a top brand manufacturer. You’ll benefit from the reputable R&D behind it, even if it costs less, and get features like one handed blade retraction and easy use and cleaning.

On a side note, the more rugged individual may want to consider a multi-tool version that offers more than just a blade: something with many tools combined into a single unit. (Think Swiss Army Knife) These are ideal for camping and hiking. But many outdoor enthusiasts still prefer the basic pocket knife.

So next time you grab your favorite paring knife to open a package or use a butter knife to unscrew a battery pack, consider purchasing a quality pocket knife to keep handy.

does amp power wire make a noticable difference?

Hey i have two 15″ subs 4000watt peak EACH and a 2 channel 4000 watt amp i bout a 0 gauge amp kit and hooked it all up exept the power wire, it was to fat to fit in the hole that was in my firewall so i used a regular extention cord and cuz it down to siz and used that now remember the extention cord has three small wire incased i twisted them together to make it slightly larger than just a tiny single wire would putting in my o gauge wire make a difference in the sound like making it louder it does bang right now but im just wounderin????

Do NOT use an extension cord. Extension cords are made for home wiring. They are not made for high current like in car audio. If you have too small of wire then your wire will heat up and could possibly melt. This means you could easily have a fire on your hands.

Your best bet is going to make the 0 gauge fit. This will sound better and keep you safe. Also, make sure that whatever wire you use it is properly fused. The inline power fuse is there to protect the wire so it is important to have it fused or you are in risk of having a fire.

Good Luck!!!
