[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8869450, member: 689267"] Figure about $100-$150 for the harness and mounting accessories and a 4 gauge OFC wiring kit Crutchfield is the go to for determining what you'll need for a harness that integrates with the amps and the HU. You can find many bargain 4 gauge OFC wiring kits and accessories on Amazon. query this for a two way distro block: $17.99 [HEADING=2]Recoil MFH12 2 Way Mini-ANL Fused Distribution Block, 1 X 0/2/4 Gauge in / 2 X 4/8 Gauge Out Fused Distribution Block with 60A, 80A, 100A Fuses[/HEADING] This for your wiring kit: $59.99 ($49.99 w/coupon) [HEADING=2]AgClover 4 GA Amp Wiring Kit, 100% Oxygen Free Copper OFC 3000W Complete Amplifier Wire Installation[/HEADING] You will get a ton of input for speakers, I'll share what i like and what I've used/recommend.
