Help out a fellow car audio enthusiast!

well after months of saving money and finding the best deals possible i finally got all my audio equipment together...BUT i cant afford to install it...
I was wondering if there is someone out in vancouver, with a oh so big heart, that can help me out!?
its probably going to be three amps (one mono and two 2-channel amps and a sub)...
PM ME PLEASE!

Even if nobody can make it out to where you are, there are a ton of extremely knowlegable people on this forum who can talk (or type) you through the install process. Post info on your equipment and vehicle and see what happens! You also get the awsome sense of satisfaction of learning and doing something on your own, and won't be afriad to make changes or fix stuff in the future. Best of luck!

Unfortunately, I bought that kit myself so I know first hand. The wiring in that kit is not 2 gauge. its four gauge . The reason why they can label it 2 gauge and get away with it is because there are no laws stating that gauging should only consistute copper. So some manufacturers take advantage of that loop-hole and measure the copper and insulation to arrive at the gauge value.

What is total fuse rating for your system?
