http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/5371.html
wat does every1 think is there anything better i could get? i would prefer to use CAS again as i hav used them b4 and know theres gd but if any1 can find a better amp 4 the job off another website i happy with any suggestions.
also i think this wiring kit will do 4 wiring the HU 2 the amp etc

but im not sure on wat ill need 4 wiring the amp(which will be in my boot i suppose) to the speakers and how ill do it
cheers 4 any help:thumbs:
You have some very good speakers there and once amped will sound very good indeed. That amp matches them well (look for RMS power ratings, max is useless). What is your budget for an amp? There are a few good 2 channels jobbies floating around.
That wiring kit will do the job but you will need speaker cable to run from the amp to the speakers (10 - 12m).
Wiring is simple but requires time and patience. Its basically Power to amp (from Battery), Amp Earth (to chassis), Remote turn on (from HU), RCA (from HU) and finally speakers (from amp)

my budget is about £70 which this amp is and i know how 2 wire up the amp as i hav a bass tube in my boot at the moment (i know bass tubes are crap but im only borrowing it off at mate as he crashed his car and cant use it lol:lol: ill get a proper sub soon) its jst the wiring from the amp to the speakers i cant remember wat the connectors are like on the speakers. could u suggest a speakers wire off of CAS.
cheers

I don't like flat wires. I find them harder to squeeze and bend into awkward places (lol that sounded wrong) Any 12awg wire will be fine for wiring speakers though. As long as its not stupidly thin and badly insulated they will all pretty much perform the same. The connectors on the speaker will depend on the speaker. Take it off and have a look. I'm quite sure they are spade types on infinitys though. You could always solder the wire on.

does the wire that comes from the amp jst replace the wire that comes from the Hu and in to the crossover. it doesnt jst go straight in to the speaker does it. i.e in simply form amp to speaker or amp to crossover to speaker?

That's correct. Wire from amp to crossover, then from crossover to speakers (as before) Its only when you start running active that you wire directly to the speakers.
