I hope all that above helps. Ok so I installed speakers and head unit less then a year ago. Everything else will be install which I though last week but ran into a few more more complications I was hoping to help get solved here. ( first time some where else, which is why im stuck now) so thanks in advance

Let's start with cables I was going to run both power cables from the battery which is why I have two Amp kits. Instead a multi Amp kit. But been reading only need one is needed. So should I get a bigger wire Guage like 1/0 and power distribution box. And should I get 17 ft since that what come in the amp kits. Do I need one fuse holder or three ? And location where do I put them. My theory is to put one before power distribution box which I have circuit breaker instead and use the oneshe that came with the amp kit close to the amp after power distribution box?

Will 40 ft be enough speaker wire or should I buy more before I start and how much more?

Do I need this ?

EFX 9-Wire Ultra Flex Speaker Wire (20 feet) All-in-one cable for speaker and amp installation at Crutchfield.com

The amp for my speakers has two rca inputs can I put rca cable from head unit front to one channel and head unit rear to another channel on the same Amp?

I know I need power distribution box and at least one more power/ ground cable will there be anything else I didn't mention that I may need to start I rather have it and not need it the not have it and need it.

You should get a 1/0 Gauge wire from the battery to a power distribution block, and run power wires to the amps from there, Only one fuse will be necessary under the hood near the battery, If you go to a local audio install shop that isn't Best Buy (seriously DO NOT go to Best Buy), you should be able to get wire by the foot, just measure how much you will need to get to the truck or wherever you and puting the distribution block. And don't buy the 9 wire ultra flex, it would be useless to you. You want to put the headunit front speakers to channels 1 & 2 and rear to 3 & 4.
