My first question is why do you want to wet sand it??? to take out swirls??? that's not the way to go. Or is the surface like sandpaper.....I'd say Hi-Speed buff. If you need a hand, I'd be glad to help.

Cheers,

I'm gonna need some audio help guys. I bought an Alpine CDA-9833 which is installed. Now I bought JBL 6.5" and 6x9" which are installed. But, now I have a 4 channel clarion amp for them. I'm also waiting on a 12" sub and amp. I can run all the wires myself so I won't waste anyones time with that (I hope), but I would like some help with plugging everything in and tuning it properly. I know how to do the nine.2 amp to the sub, but I've never wired a 4-channel amp for speakers before. I also have no idea how to tune properly.

If you want luka I can help you out wiring it up and tuning it. Are you going to run all new wires from the 4channel or are you gonna run them partly and tap into the stock wires? I would run all new wires personally but it will be a bit more work. I'm free just about anyday after 3pm so let me know .

I would like to run new thicker guage wires, yes. Apprently, I need one fused and one non-fused d-block or some crap to run both amps properly? How much do those ****s cost?

i would go with some 14gauge speaker wire from the amp to the speakers. It will make it alot easier to run the wires, cost less and IMO 12gauge is overkill.

As for the fused and non-fused distro blocks, If your amps both have fuses built into them you dont really need a fused distro block. But assuming they dont get a block that accepts AGU fuses (cylinder shaped fuses) or even mini-ANL style. You would need a block that accepts probably 2-4gauge wire and has atleast 2 4-8gauge outputs. For the ground you dont really need a distro block you can just run the ground wires from both amps to the ground location.

Yeah, I know he was referring to the speaker wires. I was just throwing in another question there. Someone on icixsound said to get a fused d-block for power, and an un-fused d-block for ground so I was just wondering...
