I recently bought a jl 250/1 amp and two jl 10w0's in powerwedge box. I found this group of guys (consider themselves a team) who do installations for 25 dollars. All they ask is that I have all the supplies ready for them. Basically i just want to know what other items i need to buy to get all installed at once? is their a better installation setup i should request? My car is a 2001 coupe. ANY info or advice helps. Thanks

need a a/v or r/c tunner....cant remember but if u want to run the system off a factory unit u need it (it is a little convertor box thing (walmart has them for like 25 bucks). You will need an amp wiring kit......i would recomend buying a 4 ga. kit just incase u want to upgrade the amp in the future, but an 8ga would do (can buy cheap at walmart or on ebay)

amp kit, amp, box, subs, fm modulator (if deck is stock) electrical tape, either soldering iron and solder, or crimps, screwdrivers, socket set, wire cutters/strippers/crimpers, small blade, door panel popper, and beer.

thaats everything youd need for every single worse case scenario

that must be amazing to not need an amp kit, box, etc...

have a coat hanger too, the #1 underrated car audio tool. it will help get the power wire through the firewall

you could also use a hi-level convertor... (as opposed to fm modulator)

Good guys said 4 gauge because the 8 gauge isnt thick enough, and that the current wouldn't flow properly. I dont plan to upgrade though and i thought thats the only reason for 4 gauge. At good guys i would spend like 110 just on wiring and 180 with installation. I went to a different shop and they said 100 with 8 gauge earthquake wiring kit. The last shop just oppened and said they would give me 130 for 5 windows tinted with warranty and 40 for the installation with 8 gauge wiring, 7 dollars more for the 4 gauge. What do you guys recommend and y. Thanks for the help and ANY advice or comments help
