Does wiring matter that much?

Bronze Member Username: ComerzPost Number: 94 Registered: Nov-07 | My sub and amp have arrived, i got everything ready, accept i got no wiring. I do not have ANY more money to spend. At wallmart there is a wiring kit for like $40. I was wondering if that would be good for now rather than getting better stuff. Its jus for every day listening, and its my first time having a sub, so would the wiring really matter to someone in my position. Again i repeat, im like dead broke, lol, thanks for any input |

Is there like a flea market in your area or a audio shop? They will prolly cut you a deal. Tell them your situation. Dont run the RCA with the power wire, as it may cause interference. It can sound like a little supercharger in your speakers haha. l8. |
