Parts needed for amp install (door speakers)

[newbz]

Hi, I was wondering if you all could tell me what is everything I need exactly to install a 4x30 watt amp. I want to run the door speakers of this. All info will be appreciated.

Well, a few questions first. Are you wiring this to a factory head unit. If so, what year are you running. If not, are you going to use the pre-amp outs? Where do you plan on mounting the amp?

Depending on your head-unit. You should be able to go to Best Buy or a Car Audio store and by an amp hook-up kit. They go for any where from $35-$125. They include all wires and usually fuses. Most companies that make amps sell their own type of amp hook up kit. I know Rockford Fosgate and MTX have them. The Rockford kits are pretty good and Best Buy has what you need for about $40. You may need extra speaker wire too.

The Amp hook up kits are pretty useful and handy, however, I found that when I bought from Fosgate, the kit does not include the necessary ring terminals and other connections needed. A quick trip to the hardware store fixed this though! I don't know if this is typical of all other kits though. Streetwires also makes good quality kits.

Lightning Audio Kits

The Lightning Audio kit I got had everything I needed. 17' of power wire, 3' of ground wire, 12' or 15' of RCA, 12' or 15' of remote turnon, in-line fuse holder and fuse, all gold plated ring terminals.
