Help please

[usn.shaft]

A little Background, I used to be into car Audio up until about 4 years ago when life got in the way and I couldnt afford the toys I wanted anymore. Well I happened to get a Sub and Amp from someone at work (a customer actually) and decided that it's time to put something in my truck to make it better than stock. I'm keeping my stock HU because I'm cheap/poor and honestly dont plan on keeping the truck more than another year or so.

here's what I've got:

Kicker L7 12"

Rockford Fosgate Power T500.1bd

I need Power and Ground wire, I'm thinking 4ga but I'm not 100% sure please someone let me know.

I need some middle of the road RCA's, nothing crazy cheap or crazy expensive, just something thats Good. need a few recommendations.

and I need a good LOC, I dont know anything about them so I need a reccomendation for that as well, preferably something with a remote wire lead on it.

Thank you very much for the help.

What I'm looking for is recommendations of a good LOC and some good but not too expensive RCA's

go to http://www.knukonceptz.com for all your wiring needs, cheap and very good products. as for a loc, i have never found much difference in them, but i have only used them in other peoples cars. but you will never get the sound out of a loc as you would an aftermarket hu. but to answer your question i would buy any loc to be honest, i dont think there is a difference

Blackbonnie, thanks, I know that an LOC will never give the sound than an aftermaker HU will, but I dont want to invest a bunch of money in a truck I'm not keeping much longer. I'll check out that website.
