    Default Where to buy wiring and distribution block

    I'll be doing a bit of wiring and have no clue where to go for supplies.

    I need about 20' of 4 gauge power wire, a 60 amp fuse and holder and a distribution block.

    Any recommendation for a good place, preferably in the SW near Chinook.

    If showing off isn't your big thing or you don't mind black power cables get some welding cable at pricess auto. Super high strand count, very flexible and the insulation on it is extra tough. Also, it is much cheaper than the designated "car audio" power cables.

    As for a distribution block and fuse/holder I generally buy mine online, there is such a retarded markup on these things that I just couldn't justify the prices they are charging around here.

    WTF? Um, no Home Depot is not the place to go for car audio wiring. Do some of you guys even know what the OP is asking about?

    Try Grand car audio, up in the NE however right off 32nd ave. Visions also sells 4 gauge wiring kits that should have everything you need.

    I still have about 20ft of 4 gauge wiring in my garage, and I think a fuse block too. Let me know if you want it.

    I would try princess Auto... They have a wiring kit package. The only problem is that the wiring won't be as flexible as the good stuff you can get from other car places (AudioConcept etc). But it should work especially on a budget, unless you want to pay 5-6$ a foot for the other stuff.

    I buy all of my car audio install accessories there. They are miles cheaper than brand name stuff and are equal or better in quality.

    Welding cable is a great route to take if everything will be hidden as well. Super durable and cheap. But if you still need a bit a flash for your install knukonceptz is your best bet.

    Awesome! Thanks for all the PMs and the responses.

    It looks like the wiring kit I got should just about reach, I'll be test fitting it tonight and I'll PM if I need some stuff.

    Thanks again!
