$ a foot? dam thats alot, i dont know why everyone insists on buying the expensice stuff. I bought the 1,100 watt amp kit from wall mart i think the entire thing was $25 or sonething, used it to push a bit over 1,000 watts on my old system and never once had a problem or any issues with sound... i had it for about 4 years then took out my ststem and used the power cabel o put my battery in the trunk.
