It is very simple man, just sit down, draw out what you have, and make measurements. We don't have your vehicle, so we cannot tell you what you need, howlong you need it and where it goes, wiring is something that is dependant upon equipment and vehicle.

 
just buy whatever you can afford. alot of the stuff you're asking for you can buy cheaply. no need to waste money on expensive stuff when cheaper will do. you wanna get a minimum of 4 gauge power/ground wire. 1/0 if you plan to upgrade in the future. also use 1/0 for big 3. get a fused distro block, and 8 gauge power/grounds. also you can use a smaller gauge (16 or 18?) for your remote turn-on wire and daisy-chain the amps. and you either need 1 set of rcas and a smaller set or 2 sets of rcas depending on if you have 1 or 2 preouts on your hu. then you need 3 fuses total (1 at battery, 2 in the fused distro block to each amp).

thanks. but wat is daisy chain? how big should the fuses be in the distro block and at the batery ?

 
daisy chain means to take another speaker wire and run it from the first amp's rem terminal to the second amps rem terminal. make sense? and as for fuses, the fuse by the battery needs to be big enough for the TOTAL current draw of your system. the fuses at the distro block will be dependent on what EACH amp draws. amps=power/voltage iirc.
