[QUOTE="accuab, post: 8294601, member: 622869"] A normal amp kit comes with the power wire, ground wire, fuse for power, rca cables, a small amount of speaker wire, and various connectors and other small parts. With that being said, read what the manufacturer recommends for power wire size. You didn't say how many watts that amp is so I have no idea on what to recommend. I can recommend that you NOT buy the kit that you linked because it is complete garbage. The reason is that the wire will not be true to the size as stated. [URL="http://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/amp-installation-kits/sp/kca-complete-8-gauge-amplifier-installation-kit/"]http://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/amp-installation-kits/sp/kca-complete-8-gauge-amplifier-installation-kit/[/URL] This one would probably be fine for you if 8 AWG is what is recommended assuming it's a low power amp. As for the door speakers, you should probably run them off the head unit and therefore won't need additional wiring for them. You can either cut the factory wiring and splice those in or buy an adapter for your particular car that is a pigtail that you plug in to the factory connector and has wires for you to connect to the speakers. With all that being said, I recommend that you find someone around you that knows more than you do to assist you or be willing to pay a shop to do the work. Not knowing what you are doing when you go to install the equipment is a good way to ruin what you have. [/QUOTE]
