You can get a cheap kit from walmart:

Since it is not pushing very much power, 10ga. wire should be fine. If you read the description of the amp, it actually says use 10ga.

thanks ill pick that one up probably tomorrow along with a new box

I think i got everything figured out, just need to know what to set the "gain" and "filter" to. And what plugs into the "speaker level input"?

If you are using it for highs or if you don't have an aftermarket stereo, you can use them as an input, otherwise, just use the R and L red and white RCA jacks. As far as the adjustments, it is really based on how YOU want it to sound. Just play around with it till you like how it sounds. Good luck on the install.

^x2 best thing is (my opinion) hook it up, sit in driver seat with all doors and windows closed and turn it up a little bit and have a buddy turn the dials and tell him to stop when you like what you hear.

almost flopped it, and its dangerous if you come out of the vehicle. I was buckled in, it has a full roll cage and this happened going 1-3 mph, so i would say it would have been maybe a small dent/scratch to the jeep
