Ok I have just got done buying all the parts to my new system which will be getting installed into my new truck. Anyway while I wait for everything to get shipped to me (CANT WAIT!!) I have decided to start looking into the wiring for the system. I took a pretty long time piecing the system together so now I wanna make sure I get the best wires to go with it. Here is my setup.

Front Doors - Polk/MOMO MMC6500 speakers

Back Doors - Polk/MOMO MMC650 speakers

Subs - 2x Polk/MOMO MM124 in OBCON SS122 - .88 box

Amps - 2x Polk/MOMO C300.2 for the subs and Polk/MOMO C400.4 for the speakers.

And finally the headunit is...

Pioneer AVIC-N1

So the questions are:

Should I use Tsunami since my buddy works at Circuit City and get the wires pretty much 50% off?

What should I use for RCA's?

Also if anyone knows I hear a rumor that the AVIC-N1 wont talk to you when using the NAV system unless there is a speaker hooked directly up to the headunit, which there wont be for me, anyone know that for sure?

If you can get Tsunami for 50% off jump all over that. Tsunami is what Im using for all power wires. They are as good as anything out there.

Same goes with RCA's. Their top of the line cables are as good as you can get anywhere else, especially if you can get them 50% off!! My personal favorite RCA's tho are Streetwires.

I know dick about GPS, video and other crap associated with head units so I cant help ya on that one.

I agree about tsunami, i've got their 12ga speaker wire for my speakers, i think i got a 100ft roll for 30 bucks:D

go with 12ga for your fronts and rears,

12-8 ga(depends on what you can fit in the terminals) for the sub speaker wires

you'll probably want 2ga power wire... or 2 4ga lines (one for 4ch one for subs) what is the total amp rating of the amplifiers?? that'll determine what size powerwire you need
