i'm installing my sub in the next week or so.

all you need is an amp installation kit. this is the kit i went with.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=350177276918

i wanted something a little heavier than 4 gauge, but not as big as 0/1 so 2 gauge was just the ticket.

plus none of the other kits i found had included a grommet, so that's one less thing to worry about.

He doesn't need an amp kit, he already has the amp installed.

What kind of amp do you have? Take a picture of how it's wired now and we'll try to help more.
