awesome find at Pep Boys actually!

i was getting some simple green at pep boys and started looking around a bit. then i saw it. an amp power wire kit that is almost the exact color as my winning blue. they only cost me $40 for 4GA. it comes with the power (17') and ground (3') wires and a fuse holder with an 80A fuse and some connectors. here's some pics for comparison:











and the ground wire is a metallic dark silver color:



here's some teasers of what i have planned in a couple months:











i'm waiting to get one of the custom Ebay boxes made for my 12" solobaric. the install probably won't happen til October, unfortunately. i also plan on eventually buildin a false floor for the amp and cap and also have some blue LED's to light everything up with. hope you enjoy.

yeah its not the stuff with the clear blue jacket. it's actually a metallic blue jacket that matches the paint near perfectly. just wish i could afford to finish it.

i had that setup in my 2004 Toyota 4-Runner and it hit pretty hard. if not, i got a 750.1 overpowering a sub in my other car i could switch it with.
