The cost of installation products alone is insane.

I'm not sure where I will be putting the crossovers nor the amps, so just to play it safe I got a little extra. Maybe a little too much extra?

I mounted my crossovers in the top right glove box. They amps are going on the floor behind the pass and driver seats. I never have people back there so it's not an issue.

If you're an online guy and don't mind paying/waiting for the mail... here's a good place

price of 1/0awg is like $2 a foot.
Bout 5 years ago I picked up a gang of 2/0awg for like $1.50 a foot.
Welding cable is actually MUCH SAFER than normal car audio wire because it is UL tested, and has to survive in much harsher conditions. The only thing is that it doesn't look as pretty.

wow. crazy cheap. excellent find! thank you.

yeah. i probably wont be sure untill i start putting things in. things sometimes take a little longer that way, but its those last-minute decisions that make things so interesting.
