you just need a real 4g amp kit couse sometime they sell more plastic than cable.And use a fuse block to devide for both amps.

Slow down buddy... we need more info.

1. What head unit are you using?

2. How big is the amp for your 4 door speakers?

3. What's the ohm rating of your subs?

4. If using the stock headunit, does you 4 channel amp have line-level inputs?

Something like this should do the trick, but you may need more terminals, depending on your application, and how you are running it.

Also, you will need these too, since the Streetwires doesn't have them in it.

If you are running in parallel, you will need more terminals for your speakers, and you will need more speaker wire too. If you are running in series, then you should be fine with the supplied number of everything. Radioshack has everything you should need at a good price too. Or you could just take your truck to a professional and let them do it, that way you save yourself a big headache. Oh, and if you do decide to do it yourself, the driver's side front speaker will be a HUGE pain. Just a warning. Hope all goes well, let us know how it goes, and post some before and after pics too.

Thanks a lot! I still know nothing about this stuff though. To get more exact..

The subs are 10" Kickers Dual 2 ohm and 600 RMS.

The speakers are Infinity Kappa 2 ohm 2-100 RMS.

THe amp for the subs is a Kicker 1000.1 amp RMS Power: 500W x 1 @ 4 ohms

The amp for the speakers is a Pioneer GM-6300F 75 Watts x 4 @ 2 ohm (RMS).

I will be getting a Pioneer Avic-D3 as well for the head unit.

NOW....WHAT CABLES/WIRES/INSTALLATION KITS DO I NEED!??!?!

Thanks

Anthony

Here's everything I can think of you'll need. Feel free to chime in if you think I missed something important...

1) 1 run of 4 ga (minimum) wire for power

2) fuse for #1 near the battery

3) power distribution block

4) 4 ga. wire for power to each amp from dist. block

5) 4 ga. wire for ground on each amp

6) ~16 ga. wire for amp turn-on

7) ~14 ga. speaker wire for 4 runs to the door speakers

8) ~12 ga. speaker wire for subs

9) Scosche FD1330B headunit installation kit (or Metra equivalent)

10) wiring harness adapter to your truck, it gets wired to the harness from the D3

11) 3 sets of RCA cables

12) terminals for speaker wire to the speakers

13) terminals for power wire to the battery

I think that covers pretty much everything aside from the tools you'll need.
