yes boxes and everything, all that stuff is kind of a given, so i didnt include it. more looking for things outside of the boxes.

Since youre going to provide RCAs and power/ground wire, why not just the whole amp kit? Fuse holders, d blocks, fuses?

A router would help with the box building. Oh, gonna do any glass work? Youll need stuff for that, too.

May as well keep some deadening on hand too, if youre going to offer other install products.

What's that stuff called to help route speaker wire... Fish Tape???

A roller for deadening

Those automatic wire strippers

A good set of ratchets and open wrenches (standard and metric)

A drill, WITH bits

A decent vice

For these bits in smaller sizes, Fry's electronics had a small kit for sale a few weeks ago. I picked me one up.

Magnet to hold screws. Wire crimpers ( basic ones and get a set of 2 or o gauge) Multimeter, tone generator, wow....u need lots of stuff.
