Awww ****, you should have came here before buying... But we can make do with that...First you will need to buy wiring and get a box built..

Over priced and nothing special by any means... You need the wire to power the amp...

I knew that but is there a specific kind? I am really new at this. So far I got lucky with my speakers and head unit by not needing to do any wiring, but this is another story.

Well You could start with OFC 4 gauge which is good for 1500 or so watts depending on the length... If you want to run more then that though might as well step up to 1/0 right off the bat...
