Hello Guys:

As I finally collect all the gears that I want to install on my 2010 Highlander, here comes another questions, what do I need to install those gears?!

Sure there is some pro going to install the system for me but the wire & accessories that he going to use is a brand called "Ichibahn" which they calim its from L.A but I never heard of them and cant find any info on the net!!

Pls help list out the amp kit and also other wire/adaptor/connector that I need to install the system below and pls recommend what you think the best brand or kit if its possible.

Also, will all those wires included in the kit longer enough to install the system to my car?!


Headunit: Alpine IVE-502E
Front/back: JBL C608 GTi speakers x2
Subwoofer: Cerwin Vega Stroker 15"
Amp: Roaster 66 x 1 / Ti 2500.1

I'd say any real 1/0ga cable would do the trick for power, with this you're sure to be okay if you ever decide to change your setup.

For distribution block, check around for your needs, but i suggest something with 4ga out, to be on the safe side.

For the connectors, any crimpable connector that matches the wire size should be good! Get some heatshrink tube to make the ends clean!

For RCA, i personally use Xscoprion triple shielded ones, but there is a wide variety out there, so it's up to you!

For remote cable, a 18ga cable would do the trick.

Just remember to pass every power wires on one side of your car, and all the signal (speakers and rca cables) on the other side, this is a precaution to block induction noise...

Other than that, have fun!

With a Roadster66 AND Ti2500.1 you need to use a DAMN good 1/0 gauge wire. No copper clad aluminum wire! Get the best you can find, or even go for a 2/0 gauge!
