it might be better to actually buy the cables separately. Might work out cheaper that way. Just buy some power cabling, both in red and black for live power and ground, some blue thin wire for remote cabling and some rca's and speaker cable. don't skimp on rca's as cheap rca's are easier to induce noise into your system..

go autobarn dude they got cheap amp kits, i recommend if ur gonna run more than one amp get a thicker power cable like a 4gauge cause all the wiring kits come with 8gauge i think, or just get it enyways incase u wanna run another amp in the future.

if just one amp is all your planning to ever put in, go to a strathfield or sumthin similar and see if you can pick yourself up a streetwires amp kit. comes with everything you need. If its more amps youre gunna put in later, dont get anything yet. wait til u get the rest of the amps before you put it in. Could save yourself around $100 dollars in cable if you dont have to re-wire it.

sure thing guys. i'm sticking with the one amp. but the quality of the sound won't depend on the wiring right? thats all i'm afraid off.

it wont as long as they're thick enough but not too thick. it wont be so much of quality but if u use really thin or bad wiring ur system might start playing up on u and trust me u dont want that as its hard to find the cause when it does, then u'll have to do the whole wiring again. if u're worried about the quality of the wires they're all the same dw :)
