Just buy a giant roll of speaker wire at Walmart for like 15 bucks. Just make sure the gauge is no smaller than 16 gauge. I usually do 12 or 14 gauge.

Yup great components..... 60 is way more than enough. You couldve done it all with 30 probably. If you're running power wires for an amp remember to run it on the opposite side.

My pioneer z140bh really brought out the full potential compared to my old eclipse avn62d. I mean they sounded great but it sounds so much cleaner and precise now. Think I got the dxi6500 & 650 for 190 brand new from a member on here.

im running the speakers off of my amp, Rockford Fosgate R300-4 which is in the trunk so i got a little more wire just in case. the power cable on the driver side but wont 2 sets of wires for the driver side speakers be on the same side or is there another way of doing it?

ive been running the stock bose speakers with my RF amp and finally blew one so it should be a nice change to have some real speakers haha
