Amplifier Wiring Kits Explained - Don't forget these other tools too!

Published 2022-09-30
When installing a car audio amplifier an amplifier wiring kit makes getting all the wiring we need to connect the amps simple. These kits include power wire, ground wire, rca signal wires, speaker wires, fuse blocks, and more. But what isn't included that we also will likely need to install the amp to power our subwoofers and speakers? Let's discuss!

  • @Trap..house.
    Crazy how I just bought a kit and this video just pops up 🧐🤣
  • Mark, as always your level of detail shows how much pride you take in these remarkable installs. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge. Love watching, keep up the hard work! Inspired.
  • Just wanted to say mark. Recently started watching your videos. I built a sound system in my 2000 z3, maybe 5 or 6 years ago? Either way, the oem system just didn’t cut it for anything. So of course got the head unit, then ran an amp for the speakers and ran new wire. Anyways.. decided a month ago I was going to rebuild my sound system. New wires, speakers, amp, etc. And that’s when I decided to start watching your videos. Which now totally has changed the way I looked at building sound systems. Also swapped my speakers out from pioneers to JL c1’s because it seemed like the best bang for your buck, also the way you used their product. It just seemed very promising. And I have to say, I couldn’t be happier. I’m absolutely IN LOVE with the JL speakers
  • Been watching your videos for like over 5 years I think. I never comment but most of my knowledge is inspired by this channel. Currently suffering with an IC for my PB1.18000 Class D. Cant find the IC and suffering with a sub that does not deliver the required bass. Now I need to save for another 6 months to be able to replace them☹️
  • What up Mark! In my humbled opinion, you are truly the best box builder and fabricator on YouTube without the super expensive computer controlled robotic router table. I'm a Cable Splicer of fiber optics for Verizon in Washington, D.C., and most of our job assignments are of the brand new construction variety with lots of plumbing material lying around. Being a BassHead from the early 90's, I fondly remember those "Bazooka" bass tubes, and I would love to see you create/fabricate one out of 10, 12 or 15 inch diameter PVC piping.

    I’ve been doing research for the last couple of days to no avail. Well, to be honest just a bit, but in two of your videos, I’ve learned more in than the last couple of days. Great videos keep up the good work.
  • @Zeski10Speed
    This was the exact video i was looking for 🎉
  • @RJSDZNS
    Just got two distribution blocks from them yesterday. Ground and power. Love knukonceptz
  • OMG DUDE! I've got myself into a situation here! Purchased a 2015 Toyota Tundra with premium sound, and now I have my first vehicle that I wish to keep my OEM head unit, but man, this thing is WEAK. Whatever JBL amped this at can't be much! So now I'm on a mission to learn all I can about what it's gonna take to make a good hybrid system out of this! I've never kept a factory head unit before so this is all new to me haha wish me luck brother!
  • Really appreciate your helpful videos @CarAudioFabrication This one helped me decide on Knukonceptz wiring for my new system. I havn't installed any audio for about 8 years so it's been good to get caught up on latest techniques and equipment... I went overboard on the wiring kit rather buying the premade kit mainly because I didn't want longer RCA cables then I needed so I added all the custom wire lengths and terminals ect I needed to cart and knukonceptz made it easy to custom configure exactly what I needed even though I spent double what their premade kits cost ha...
  • Being a mast audi tech i appreciate good quality work 👌🏻 fantastic
  • @Deraco1
    I got the KnuKonceptz wiring kit as well. Found that I bought the wrong version, which was CCA. I read the box, "CCA, Yuck!" I returend it and got OFC. Still need to install it in my rig!
  • I wish you could do a video on wiring up component v coaxial mid and tweeter speakers to an amp and the differences
  • @Cheshireh-x
    THANK YOU SO MUCH! VERY HELPFUL more than any other video out there!
