Advice needed for a complete system

The sub woofer arrived today...largest car speaker I have ever seen lol and boy is it hefty! It's going to take a sturdy enclosure to support the weight of this speaker alone. The rest of the components will be drifting in over the next few days. I've decided to wait on ordering a amp install kit until I have a firm location of the amp and hidden head unit. Will likely order cables/wire to a specific length instead of a generic/universal kit to prevent a bundle of un-needed wiring. What would be the proper AGM fuse size for 4 gauge wire?

I used to have a 78' ***** Am and it had a single speaker in the center of the dash as well. If I remember right, there was a set up that included a plate and two separate sets of drivers that mounted into it so you would have stereo sound from the single speaker location. That's all I can remember about it unfortunately. There is such a thing made tho and since you have a GM something ought to be out there for yours as well.

Yeah you can absolutely do separate wiring to save on a few bucks or hit up @mylows10 and he can setup a whole amp kit for you on what parts or lengths you need for your kit. Fuse for 4 gauge is 125-150 amps.

On the other hand, whatever left over wire you have can be used to beef up your grounding wires and stock alt to battery positive run.

Its called the big 3 upgrade, overall improves the health of your car's electrical system especially with added demand
