Any amp is gonna need wiring and will have to be fused, i guess there really are dumb questions lol. At least u were upfront about it, i commend u for that at least.

Sometimes, there are wrong answers, and other times there's misinformed answers.

Welcome to the latter.

It doesn't HAVE to be fused. The fusing is so that, in case there's a short, be it the power wire came loose from the amp and touched the body of the car, or there was wear and tear on the jacket and it grounded, the fuse will snap and thus disconnecting the circuit and saving your car. It's recommended, but isn't necessary.

I know it doesn't HAVE to be fused, but it is without question the best thing to do. Especially in the case of such an inexperienced person in the car audio world, such as the OP is.

 

I wouldn't say i had the wrong answer, but i just didn't explain into further detail.

that will work but you will need a 4channel rca not 2 channel.

that one has everything you need for a 4 channel.

I give this noob lots of credit for asking before he blows some stuff. At least he asks before he buys and learns the hard way....

Yes you need a amp kit... Depending on amp you can get cheap kits at several places

I can get Audio Pipe Complete 8 gauge kits for $30 Shipped
