What kind of wiring is needed.. ?

[thecoolest 10+ year member]

So I just got 2 Kicker 15" 2000w each subs and a power akoustic bamf 5500w amp with an alpine 9884 deck

i'm about to go to this place called Factory Auto Sound to install everything

but i was wondering.. is there anything else i'd need for the sound system?

i know i need a box for the subs.. but i heard ppl talk about the Big 3 wiring.. capacitors.. rewiring the battery of the car and a whole bunch of stuff..

so like what size box should i make.. and what other stuff should i tell the guys that are installing to do.. or do the installers automatically do the big3 wiring and all that stuff for you?

because i really don't want to go buy a 140w amp alternator.. and a yellow top battery.. that's $400 extra.. i don't have that kind of money //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

.. or is that my only chioce?

thx for any help

Do 1/0 gauge wire and the big 3 and you should be ok.

NO!!!! you need to do that either way if you really plan on doing 4k watts (4k doesnt sound right but i dont feel like lookin up specs.
