What size interconnects

[anvil82]

What size interconnects should I get to run wires from the cd player, to the trunk?

Also what is the best way to route them?

THANKS!!!!!

are u running an ampkit or new speaker wires

[lakersfan1]

16 ft'll do fine. Route them on the passenger side. Just pull up the door sill trim, and tuck it in under the carpet right along the edge.

Amp Kit

So I assume then I run the 4 awg power wire on the driver side?

What's a good way to run that (inside of course).

Thanks for the help.

I'll get the 17ft ones I was looking at ( didn't see any 16ft ones).

No. You don't get 'shielded' wire. The 'shielding' only makes it even more likely the interconnect will pick up noise. 'Shielding' only helps reject RF noise, and RF noise is out of the audible range of frequencies. It may help with video cable, though, since it uses higher freqencies. You want unshielded, twisted pair interconnects to prevent noise for audio.

lol What do you think gets into the wires ?
RF frequencies do.
Nothing else can get in unless the wires are grounded out.
and yes a twisted pair works very well but it's not the best.
Why do you think the more exspensive car audio RCA's have twisted and 4X shielded ?
Take a look at rca's that range from $120.00-500.00 a set.
I been an installer for 13 years and a master installer for 4 years so I think I would know.

OK. Live in your sheltered fantasy life and spend $100 for your RCA's. Believe all you want. Just don't spread BS to the other forum members if you have no idea what you're talking about. Yes RF frequencies get into the wire. RF frequencies are over 20KHz, so you can't hear them moron.

Those are fine. Even cheaper, the Lightning LSIX. I've used the LSIX on a few installs with good results. Lightning also sells a full power wire kit that inlcudes a set of LSIX interconnects. http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/LITSXCK4

I think you can get it cheaper still on eBay, but I've always been happy with Sounddomain's accesory prices for the good customer serivice.
