4 Questions. Audio Newb Here!!

1. I have 2 amps rated at about 500 watts rms each. Should I be running 1/0 awg to distribution block and then 4 awg power wire to the amps. Is 1/0 necessary as it so big isnt that stuff hard to hide under kick panels and stuff.

2. What do you guys think obout the products from KnuKoncepts. It look like good quality stuff but its so cheap. I was looking to buy power wire, capacitor, and rca cables there.
ere

3. As far as it goes for running cables I know the Power wire should be away from everything else are there any other cables that shouldnt be near eachother.

4. Im looking for a set of tweeters can anyone reccomend a set that sound crisp and clear and come with passive crossover.

1 - I think 4 gauge would work fine for 500 watts per run
2 - Their wire is good stuff, I own some and many others have gone knukonceptz as well, undissappointed. Not sure about capacitors, but then again, the whole idea of buying a capacitor is an entire other debate
3 - The wires you probably should worry most about keeping seperate are RCA's
4 - Somebody else will have to chime in here

Blaupunkt VC100 Velocity series sound great and don't break the bank. Around $95 a set and includes 2way overs. And JBL and Infinity both make nice sets.

And true 4 gauge wire will handle 1000+wrms no problem

the knu stuff i have is pretty nice, definitely worth the money.

i have only heard a couple sets of CDT tweeters, so im not sure if i would call them especially crisp, but they were pretty nice.
