2 quick questions if you could answer either it'd help. How many RCA cables will I need? Howtodo a fuse ho?

First off I kno my stuff comes with RCA cables but I would like to get higher quality ones how many would I need to install 2 pairs of RF speakers an amp one sub and a deck??? Also I am getting a Kicker pk4 4gauge amp wiring kit off sonic electronix (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3933_Kicker+PK4.html) and would like to know how that fuse holder works and if it is complicated to install myself ( I know enough but not a lot about car audio) either of these questions answered would be a huuuge help thanks !!2 quick questions if you could answer either it'd help.

If you ask me an RCA cable is an RCA cable.

All they do is carry the music signal from your

stereo to your amp. If you on have one amp you just

need 1 set of rca's . If your going to run 2 or more

they make distribution blocks for rca's ( which would split your one

RCA cable into two outputs) . As far as Inline fuse / holder

you can get one of two types . Type a is a buss fuse

not unlike those used in older vehicles ther tubeular

and have a glass case . Type b is a clip fuse like you see in

newer vehicles they have a plastic case with 2 metal leads.



I prefer the buss type but they both work well

generaly near the battery you cut your amp power wire. Strip about an inch

and a half or so of plastic insulation off the wire

twist the wire until it becomes solid and rigid then insert into each

end of bus fuse holder and then tighten the screw in case

down to secure wire into holder. That's install for buss type fuse

holder . For clip fuse they generally come pre wired into a full length

ready to use power wire like in the scoche kits sold at walmart.

Make sure weather your using pre wired clip amp power wire

or installing a buss type into an existing amp power

wire you first before doing anything disconnect the battery

and before re attaching battery cable and power lines

you inspect your wireing job to ensure there's

no loose contacts or bare / exposed wire. Hope this helps



good luck.2 quick questions if you could answer either it'd help. How many RCA cables will I need? Howtodo a fuse ho?
you only need one RCA cable for your setup, just going from the amp to the head unit. Fuse holders are kinda self explanatory, you just put the fuse in the holder...the fuse is an inline fuse, so it should sit in the power wire, cut the power wire about 10"-18" away from the battery and connect both ends of the power wire into both ends of the fuse...just looking at the kicker wiring kit you got, it doesnt come with rca's, so you do have to get another, but if it did, there would be no need to upgrade it because kicker is really quality audio
