After much procrastination and deliberation, Ive decided to go with a JL 10w7, and the 500/1 to power it in an spec enclosure. Ill be going to a shop and have them install it 'professionally', and am wondering what else I need? just using stock speakers and deck as they are, since they are certainly decent I don't see a need to swap them out yet. So I just dont want this shop ganking me for anymore than they already will with ++ $, so what else should I be ordering as far as cables and what not? If you have any advice, please let me know.

Much thanks in advance
Cheers

 

You'll be needing a normal amp wiring kit which will include everything you need to hook up your amp.. This should be provided ontop of the installation. If you're using a stock deck, you'll need line out converter to tap into the speakers to get a signal for your amp.

Good Luck on the installation!

 

any brand/rating in particular? Or do they not vary a whole lot? Can you also give me a ball park on that?

Thanks!

 

stinger/knuconcepts/tsunami and many othera are all good just make sure thay are the proper ga not a super thick jacket any decent set will run you $100 or less

 

And what guage is considered appropriate for this setup?

 

4 gauge power and ground for amp and 14-12 gauge for sub.
