I don't get it... If there was no difference, why did he remove it? He already had it installed, why did someone advise him to remove it?

[abhinav.gupta88]

That distribution block was not as good looking as it usually is.

Even i told him this before but he said its necessary but then after listening to the install without the block , he found no difference . Hence the removal.

Yes it is a 0 gauge (true one , 50mmsq). Not the so promised and hyped one...

Some testing I did some time back about so called high end power cables...

A friend of mine was running his honda city with 2 amps , a mono and a 4 channel and with distribution block.

A Distribution Block is associated with ease and elegance of wiring, maintenance / trouble-shooting and safety, NOT voice and performance.

In a multi-amp setup, daisy-chaining the power cable (from fuse-block to amp1, then amp1 to amp2) would need either 2 cables to be somehow jammed into amp1's power socket (imagine doing that with even a 4AWG cable) risking an unstable or insufficient connection which will start heating up, or a desi 'twisted' wire joint which can suffer insulation break-down and eventual short to ground.

What about the RCAs used?? ?I think i am posting this for the third time but no reply yet, since abhinav does not know, LBM can you please give us the details on that.

@Abhinav: Are you using the same "DAISY-CHAINING" method as told by DerAlte to power your AMPs??? And since you are using 0 Gauge Wiring, OMG!!!!

Sir no twisting of wires is done proper crimping of wires with thimbles and with proper tools is done to ensure proper contact and for proper current transfer.

No desi shortcuts are used, but it is a cheap alternative for a D.B

Then why bother asking bro? I think he's too busy listening (& upgrading) his ICE.. so how does it matter if its BOSS/RAJUSON/SONY-MONY/AUDISON or MONSTER?

As far as my limited knowledge goes, he's using same as LBM's!

There is a reason my friend. Its time that I ICE up my civic, so if i zero in on GZ/Illusion products i should know what wires will be used. Till now i know.

1. POWER Cables will be finolex.
2. I should insist on the installation of a fuse.
3. I will not get a distribution block.
4. the RCA's is a question mark which i want to know.

Without proper info on these i cannot trust the installer. An installs is not only about good equipment, and what i have learned from my past experience wires make a HELL LOT OF DIFFERENCE!!!

Thanks bro for the concern. First I wanna ask you how much you wanna spend on cabling.

I can get you VDH cables if you like but it will be a over kill for your setup. anyways I would recommend you the following...(mods dont take this as a marketing post I am just educating someone)

1. Power cables -> Finolex (I love it, cheap and best)
2. I have many brands of fused box ranging from .5k to 5.5k
3. Yes there are many again depends on budget, but the thimble method is cost effective and I am using myself and many cars which I have installed.
4. Rca - > Again depends on ones budget. You can get 5k rca with Neutrik plugs/Supra cable or Sommer cable which would be approx 1.5k.

So bro it all depends how deep is your pocket and how much you can spend sky is the limit. Having a chat with Ajay Bhai he is going for a High End install with approx 25 lacs worth of equipment. And after having such experts advice at a phone call away I feel quite confident in my work.

Ajay's cow is getting an ICE upgrade worth 25 lacs??

Damn, for that kind of money he could buy a few hundred cows and open up his own Milk Dairy!!

So the thimbles used initially has been replaced now with better ones?

Thanks for the reply, but you have answered everything excluding the question I asked, I am asking what cables were used in this install??? I am not asking you about your phonebook contacts.

Some were changed and new ones were added for the FUSE.
