Hi i bought a 4 Gauge amplifier wire kit, but it says the wire kit runs at 438RMS, i dont understand why the wire kit has an RMS rating? My amp is a Kenwood KAC-9105D thats runs at 900RMS at 2ohms?

@xEDEN365x Please accept my apologies for the delayed response. As long as the wire is a true 4 AWG (American Wire Gauge) you should be fine with that amplifier. Feel free to call for additional assistance: 800.315.0030--Crutchfield

My system keeps running my battery dead. If I turn my car of I have to call someone to jump my car. I have eveything ran the way you said. So why does it keep going dead on me?

Atley05,

There could be a couple reasons for your battery going dead.

You might have the amp's turn on wire connected to an "always on" source.

Check to make sure your amp is really turning off when the radio turns off. The remote turn on wire should turn it on, and off.

You may have an old battery that needed to be replaced anyway.

I hope that helps, you can call Crutchfield for Installation Tech support. Use the number on your invoice, or 800 555 9408.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the vid, very help, went from a newbie to now someone who understands to wire a amp and speakers in the car after much research.

Thanks for clearing it up that speaker wire isn't included, wasn't sure if amp wiring kit will have it or not but now I know I need to purchase seperate speaker wire kit.
