I have no idea what this sub and amp are worth, somebody tell me if it is a deal and if the subs and amp are a good brand

also, what do I need to hook them up? I have an 01 f-150 ext.cab 4x4. I do have a friend that is knowledgeable in hooking them up but hes at work haha

you didn't mention what kind they are. and you will need an aftermarket radio installed doesn't matter what kind, and a car audio kit from like Wal mart. get the appropriate sizing kit for your amp. I believe they have 200, 500, 600 and the max is 1000watt.

Becareful buying amp kits from wal-mart. If you arent using a high-powered amp(i.e. <1000rms) then a wal-mart kit would be fine. Typically, the gauging on those kits are off by quite a bit. Some of the 4 gauge kits only have 6ga equivalent. I'm not for sure but I don't thing the AWG rate's their kits so they include the diameter of the insulation. Just a heads up if going for SQ or a high powered system.

yea I know that, but he didn't specify the size brand an all that so I just said get one from Walmart. most likely a little 500watt amp for a single sub, 10 or a 12. if he really wanted serious sound he would know to go to a car audio store an get real gauge wire like I did. yes I know the Walmart gauge stuff isn't exactly what it says, they do seem to skim on the wire sizing. figured the Walmart kit would do him just fine, an like I said he didn't say anything about the amp size brand or sub

Yes, I agree that kit should suffice for his install since he isnt going for the kilowatt+ power. Sorry, didn't mean to come off rude or anything. Just like to warn people about products that don't specifiy their quality or true ratings. Also, its hard to beat wal-mart on prices if you arent going for the huge system or sound quality. If you just want a little extra bump, you won't beat the price on their kits.

As for me, the only true "audio" wire I use is the for the RCA's and Speaker wire. I use mining/welding cable for my power and grounds. Hell of a lot less resistance and more duarable. Plus its not marked up nearly as much as car audio products.

those car audio stores have huge mark ups i either go to a auto parts store or a hardware
store an get 8 gwg to 6 gwg stranded wire depending on the application an auto parts store for fuse blocks an terminal connectors way cheaper an u get betters stuff it jus doesnt have the pretty insulation on it but i dont want folks seeing my wires anyways
