Default wiring and sub question

Wheres the best place to get inexpensive (note, not 'CHEAP') wiring?

I need 10' 0, 2x 4' 4 red, 2x 4' black, terminals, and some 14-16g +/-.... roughly 30'.


Also...

I'm running a KDC-x569, JL 500/1, 300/4. I've got boston acoustics all around and an xtrant aluminum cone hex 10" in an extended cab ford ranger.

My questions:

Better sound from bridging 150 to each of front speakers and leave rears on deck power?

Any idea of a better while inexpensive sub for my setup? I'm really looking for some volume here, the current setup isnt nearly loud enough... but im on a budget.

BAs will not be too happy with 150RMS in the fronts.

what kind of "loud" are you trying to get? 75wRMS on BAs should be well into 'loud' for the mids, one 10" is a little to the weak side for bass. You may save $$ by moving the battery to the rear with 4ga and running 2ga starter wire to the front.

i really dont have space for the batt in the back otherwise i'd do it, but thanks for the suggestion!

The BAs will handle 150rms if memory serves me right. If they'll sound good... thats another question.

At 75wRMS theyre not powerful enough. I eventually want to go get some MB Quart Q series for the front and something decent for the back , all pushing a little more power, but i want to tweak it.

Most of the music I listen to is progressive rock, country, etc... so an 'all-around' system is what im going for.

I want the double bass to thump the shit out of my ribcage. Any thoughts on a sub replacement? Is the 500/1 enough? I know the eD 12 jesse had with a 500/1 was SICK, but I dont have the airspace he does.

Thanks for the help, man.

let me know what those BAs do with that much power, I'm thinking about ordering a set for myself.

Ive heard painfull double bass notes in a 1.35cuft ported to ~ 40hz with a 10" type R but you will have crap for low end bass, but since you dont listen to rap that might be cool for you.
