wiring kits

How's it going?

I need a little help finding a 2 gauge dual amp wiring kit.

I have got:
I am a little confused.

I have got:
2 Alpine 1042D Type R sub woofers (500 rms a piece)

Alpine SPR-57LS components (60 rms a piece)

Kenwood KAC-8452

Kenwood KAC- 9152D

Pioneer DEH-P680MP Head Unit.

I wanted to get 10 gauge for the subs, 12 for the speakers and i have been told countless times that i need 2 for the amps.

I don't know if a 0 guage dual amp kit would work or not. I know i need a distributor block but not sure wich one to get if i have to have the 2 gauge.

Do i need to run a 0 gauge from the battery, then to the distributor, then two 2 gauge wires going to the amps or what???

The 9152D is a mono and the other is a multichannel... Mono for subs, multi for everything else.

Or if you guys have any other suggestions let me know.

THANKS FOR ANY INFO...

Do a search on ebay for an amplifier wiring kit. That's where I got my JL Audio 2 guage kit from for like $64. Included everything that was needed.

0 guage is not necessary. it certainly isn't going to hurt anything, but not necessary by any means. you would actually probably be fine running a 4 guage from the battery to the distribution block and then 8 awg to each amp. i would personally just run 2awg from the battery to the dist. block and then 4awg to the amps.

Id probably go with 2 gauge from the battery to the distri block, then 4 gauge to the amps, like TXST8tj said.

Heck, Id use the 10 gauge and 12 gauge as speaker wire Ok ok, dont really need that big, but I like big wire. I have 10 gauge going to my sub
