Just buy an amp install kit and some decent rca cables. Streetwires stuff should run you $100 retail. Either that or you can buy something cheaper.

Whatever brand you get, get the amp kit without the RCAs, by them separately buy the length you need, most kits have 17'-20' RCAs you will not need one that long.

A little more running around but cheaper is to get one of these... http://www.scosche.com/efx.asp...PWFHI and an ANL fuse for it, find your local welding supply shop and buy as much 4ga welding cable as you need, then find the 4ga ring terminals you need, [any place that sells Pico] like these... http://www.picocanada.com/catalogue/4005-4713.asp and put together your own amp power kit.
The welding cable will be 1/2 the price and twice as good as anything you can find at a car audio shop.
The Pico retailer will be able to sell you exactly the proper terminals "stud" size is very important, they should just fit the studs or bolts that they are connected to, and no they do not come in gold. 94
