Cable lengths

[PamAndJim]

I'm assembling my system slowly but surely. I have my new deck and Scoshe dash kit on the way. I'd like to preinstall the RCA cables so I don't have to pull it apart. I'm curious if anyone can advise what length of cables I'll need. I'll need to run one set to the trunk and 2 to underneath the passenger seat. I'm thinking that 15' should be good for the trunk run and maybe 6' for to get to the passenger seat. Based on some rough measurements, 6 feet seems like it should work, but I know sometimes those rough measurements can be deceiving. Any inputb would be great.

Also, if anyone could chime in with how much power wire you needed to get from the battery to trunk, that 'd be awesome.

You sound right in the ballpark with your estimates but the lengths needed will vary depending on amp mounting locations. With the RCA cables you can always have them a bit longer than needed and coil up the extra to tuck it out of sight. I dropped off a 17’ main power wire when my stuff got installed but not sure if it was cut down further.

Are you putting a 4 channel amp under the front seat? That seems like a tight fit.

Yes, but the amp is tiny.

That is tiny. I’ve heard good things about those amps.
