Default Where can I go for Amp/Sub Install?

Zup fellas! i finally got an amp and sub. Anyone know where I can go to get it hooked up for a great deal? I really wanted to do this myself but i'm clueless about amp/sub installation! SO far I'ved gotten $60 for the install. Thanx!

I'll teach you how to do it and that will be payment enough... I like installing...haha.. Hmm, I would recommend at Circuit City but there's one like 2 blocks away from me and I could go and help you pick one out so that you get the right size.. So what all does your "system" consist of?? How many amps, what kind, subs, anything else...

That's cool I actually want to learn! I know the amp has 400W but not too sure on the brand and 10' sub is a Fosgate. My HU is a Alpine CDA-9856(I installed it myself). I actually have another 10' sub but I want to start with just one. That's about it! You live in San Diego?

I can do it next weekend... Well it really depends on what kind of amp it is... I would like to see it first and go with you to get the power kit so that you get the right one and also figure out where you want to go with it in the future... If you're just going to have that amp then maybe an 8 gauge kit but if you're going to be doing two or more then atleast a 4 gauge... If the amp you have is that big then we'll need a 4 gauge too... Did you already buy your RCA's?? I would say that you're going to spend at least $40-$50 on a good power kit... It's expensive but very worth it when you're done.. Oh btw I solder everything so that it doesn't come apart and I'll make sure everything is tucked away.. Some places that you take it to don't even do that...
