Kicker install help

[irishpunk]

I have two Kicker L7 12" 2-ohm subs, and a Kicker 08ZX1500.1 amp. I am about to run to the store and purchase everything that I need, but I dont want them to make me buy stuff I dont need. I am driving a 2003 Mazda Protege5. The amp manual says I need 1/0 ground/power wire. What all do I need to complete this install, such as hardware, componets, wiring, wire lengths, etc?

your welcome.

That says its for connecting two amplifiers. I do like the idea that everything is there for the amp, seems like a nice kit, just not sure if it would work, since it says its for connecting two.

Also, what else do I need for the subs? Someone also told me that I will need a capacitor as well, is this true and if so, how do I go about picking one out and wiring it as well?

befor you ask anymore of these quesitons do some research.

caps dont do anything your better off running 2 batteries. Do the big 3, and that wiring kit would work.
