I am no fan of "amp kits" that have RCA cables, unless amp is 17-20 feet from HU as the RCAs if most kits are 17-20 feet long, can probably get enough 4ga cable a 150A ANL fuse, [what it should be for 4ga cable] and holder, all the terminals and a proper length set of RCA cables for less then $80.
But if you have $80 to blow, get the kit, one stop shopping. 94

You can get 4ga welding cable at any welding supply shop, [way better then any "car audio power cable"] most car audio shops sell bulk cable, most car parts shops will sell 4ga by the foot, [batt. cable].
The remote lead is low current, [under 500mA] so it does not need to be bigger then 16ga, 18-22 gauge is OK. 94

check the speaker wires there may be a loose connection somewhere between the amp and the box or box and sub.
