Need help what all do I need for wiring?

[amb3cog]

Okay so I'm putting a new system in my 2002 Chevy(Geo) Prizm (really Toyota Corolla). And I want to know everything I need to get.

System:

Head Unit:Not sure yet.

Amprecision Power P900.5

Fronts: 6.5 components trying to buy B2 ES 6.1's on here. 4 Ohm

Rears:Some mid bass 6.5's eventually.

Subolk DB1212 12' DVC @2 Ohm in vented enclosure

Will be running Fronts @ 4 Ohm so 70x2

Sub @ 2 Ohm so 440x1

Mids???

So what should I get? Amp kit 4 gauge? Big 3 or 4 upgrade? 1, or more farad capacitor?

Twisted Pair RCA's?

I need a comprehensive list so I can order everything. Please any help/ideas would be great. If anyone has a list they made for themselves that would be great.

Oh and tools. What will I need? Wire cutter, stripper, large cable crimpers??????

Basically I haven't done this in over 20 years. Please help an old dude!!!

Thanks in advance;//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What's your budget your willing to spend? For HU if you want the most bang for your money the Pioneer 80prs is the way to go, I would do the big 3 in 1/0 or 2/0, for RCA's I love KnuKoncepts been using them for years, ditch the capacitor an get a good agm battery if you need it.

1/0 welding wire is a great choice for power/ground... temco, eb flex and royal excelene

pass on a cap.. extra battery in rear will do ALOT more good

To run a 5 ch amp? It's not gonna do any good if he were to stick with an upgraded battery under the hood. And if he does the big 3, should be fine afterwords.

Okay so I just got a new battery in my car, but that's not good enough? If so what one is best for least $ ? It looks like I need a group 35 battery for it.

Also what size wiring? Will 4 gauge do it? I think that amp might only have 4 gauge connectors???

Should I get some thicker stuff for big 3? I see people selling the welding wire on here.

If so what connectors will I need to do it?

What tools?

Sorry but I'm trying to figure this out in a hurry. I don't mind doing my own research. Just don't have the time.

Oh and I have like $700 for install and head unit. Don't really want to spend it all, unless I have too. Was thinking of just grabbing a $100 head unit, and upgrading later. Just need to get it in my car next week for a few reasons. I can make it nicer later. Right now just need all the hard work out of the way. I can swap stuff out later on. But I'd rather have a working okay system then waiting for a great one. I can always sell the cheap head unit. Just worried about 2v or 2.5v pre outs is all. But it's only temporary.

And I use my car for work. So I'd rather spend money on battery etc. and be sure my car starts and runs every day then on a fancy head unit. There's some nice double din ones from Kenwood and Pioneer with 3 sets of pre outs 13 band eq BT, USB, Aux etc in the $100 range. Pioneer is 2v Kenwood 2.5v Pioneer seems nicer, except for that.

Whatever power/ground wire that amp will take, use that same size. Knukonceptz makes some nice amp install kits and is 55 bucks. I happen to have one and can't go wrong with quality stuff.
