[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1095202, member: 561023"] That 900 watts is a peak output rating only. Or, to put it more simply, it's an irrelevant number. That amp bridged puts out 300 watts RMS (continuous) power. Well - if you're going Wal-Marting have a look back in the mobile audio section (normally located back in automotive somewhere) and have a look at the Scosche wiring kits. The one that is marked "Dual amplifier wiring kit, up to 1100 watts" or something akin to that. I think it goes for about $25 or thereabouts. It will contain everything you need excepting that line out converter. For the money that's a pretty good kit, IMO. You'll get a length of 4 gauge power cable, a shorter length of ground cable, a couple of sets of RCA cables, a smallish distibution block, and then like some 8 gauge cable to feed the amp from after the distribution block. For an amp like that Fosgate your buddy has 4 gauge from the battery and 8 gauge coming out of a distro should be plenty. Just don't forget the line out converter. Since you're wiring the amp to a factory deck you'll need to find a switched power source to tap into to connect the amp's remote turn-on circuit to so it isn't constantly on killing the battery.
