I got a Dual 10" Single-Voice-Coil 1000W Bandpass Subwoofer System (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1059573944216&skuId=5788221&type=product) and a Dual 460W 2-Channel Bridgeable MOSFET Amplifier with Tri-Mode Capability (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1059573944161&skuId=5788196&type=product)

I know these may not be the best but they were on sale for 99.99$ as a pair (down from 229.98$). I was just looking for some decent bass as opposed to my stock speakers so I think this system will do me just fine. Plus, it just looks cool in its plexiglass case. hehe.

So my question is, what wires do I need to hook it up? I know I need an amp power kit but what kind? Also some guy at circuit city said I needed these wires (I forgot what kind) to stop "road noise."
Also, I don't know how to install the sytem so I was thinking on going to Tweeter. Would they have wires there and tell me what wires I need for the install or what? TY

First of all that box has 2 4ohm subs. The amp isn't capable of 2ohm mono so you will hook it up as 4 ohm stereo. The amp is rated at 85 x 2 rms and 170 x 2 peak. In reality you only need 10ga cable for power and ground. But if you plan on upgrading run at least 4ga. It will cost a little more now but later when you upgrade you won't need to rewire. You didn't say if you have a stock radio or not. The amp you got has speaker level inputs so you won't need rca cables to use the stock radio. If you do have an aftermarket radio shielded "road noise reducing rca's" won't be needed. The bandpass box will filter out road noise and most road noise is at higher freq. than subs produce. I never shell out the big bucks for the "road noise reducing rca's" unless I have tried everything else first. But most of the time if you are carefull during an install you won't have noise anyway.

If you really want to give it a try go to knukonceptz.com they have some great wire for a really good price and they do have install kits.

But if you do go to tweeter they will have everything needed to do the install. But it's gonna cost you.
