So im setting up my stuff...

Right now im screwing my amp and everything to a board for easy portability and such..and im wondering..what do I use to connect the amp to the sub?

I bought a lightning audio wiring kit for my amp..but I dont see any type of speaker wire or anything...

This is what I have:

What am I missing (i have my rca cables..)

if im reading ur post corectly u need to connect your amp to your sub(s)?....if so you just need some wire, 14, 12, 10, 8 gauge, depending on the power you have. 14-12 should be more then enouph tho.

Wire is wire, as long as it's the right thickness (actual wire thickness, not sheilding) then it will be fine.

a car audio shop might be cheaper just because they have it in big rolls and will more then likely sell u just what u need...but if its to far out of the way, then yea, any wire will do..same wire and all probably just u dont have to buy a roll..hell you could more then likely find some at napa or carquest if you cant find it anywhere else.

Actually, go to wal-mart. around $6 for a 25ft roll. Then you will have extra
