i will have 4 amps for the remote, the 2 pdx amps and the 2 speaker amps. What size fuse should i get for the distro if i run a wire for the big 3 out of it? As big as i can get? Also what about the speaker wire?

you do not need a fuse from your alternator to your battery. the electrical flow is only one way (from the alt to the battery) and it fluxuates constantly.
You will need to use a relay for your remote turn on wire. Run 1 wire from your head unit to the relay then branch off into 4 after it.
you do not need a fuse for your speaker wires. As far as speaker wire size, anything larger than 16ga is overkill. Basically anything larger than the tinsel leads is overkill unless you are a super heavy SPL competitor.

my battery to alt wire will be coming out of my distro block. so i need a fuse. How are these for RCAs http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=5998 2 per speaker amp and 1 per sub amp.

link isnt working. My stock fuse on my alt in my sedan is 120A. Should be safe with that in yours too.

if you spend that much on RCAs I will find out where you live and personally slap you. Go to knuconcepts.com and buy an amp kit from them. They should come with RCAs. All you need are RCAs that are shielded - nothing fancy.

ok lol. I was kinda thinking they were over priced and i figured you would suggest something different. Thanks

This is easy...
Alpine Type-R 12" subs.
Massive Audio P1500.1 or MA Audio HK401SX. With the 12"s, that Massive which is rated for 1500RMS @ 1Ohm will put out closer to 1700 or 1800RMS with a 0 gauge power and ground. The HK401SX puts out 1800RMS at .5Ohm. Friend of mine runs them on 2 Type-R 12"s at 1Ohm with 1200RMS and they sound good, just not at potential.
If you want to save money on everything, my friend is looking to upgrade from the Type-Rs. I could ask him for his price + shipping.
