hmm a wireing kit would be a start. You need a power wire a ground wire remote wire rca's and some speaker wire. The power wire goes from the + on the bat to the amp and the ground goes to the frame of the car to the amp. The remote wire goes from your HU to the amp. You also need some rca cables that r gonna go from the HU to the amp. Then your gonna need some speaker wire from the amp to the subs. I read somewhere you could use welding cable from www.weldingsupply.com as power and ground wire. Never used it but maybe someone here has ?

You could probably get away with an 8 gauge wiring kit but if you ever plan on getting a different/bigger/better amp, definitely get 4 gauge. Oh, and if you dont wanna pay out the ass for it all, definitely dont go to Best Buy, Sound Advice, or Circuit City. Go to a local stereo shop, like AVE Audio in Clearwater for me, where they have complete Stinger 8 gauge kits for $40. $40 at CC will get you the Tsunami 8 gauge kit without RCA's.
Assuming you have an aftermarket head unit, you need the RCA's but if its factory, spend the extra $20 and get a high-low converter to convert + and - speaker wire to RCA cables.
Good luck

Pick up a 4 gauge wiring kit on ebay, should be able to find one for under $35. Go to BB or CC and you'll probably pay ATLEAST twice that.

Actually, that amp is probably 750w MAX, not rms. So you would probably be fine with a 8 gauge kit.
