Default System Install Help

What do I need for the amps? One amp is 2000 rms at 1 ohm/4000 peak, the other 1000 rms/2000 peak. JVC 7010 DVD HU, JVC 12 Disc changer on the front side (already have adaptors, etc). The subs are 2 10's (1000 watt rms 4 ohms (wired for 1 ohm load)), and the components are 4 ohm Directed Viper 650.2's receiving 400 watts rms at 4 ohms each. What gauge wires do I need? What blocks, other stuff?

That is the power kit I got ($100 shipped). How about RCA's? Brand speaker wire? Basically I think I have it all but the rca's and speaker wire...and an alternator!

depends on the brands of amps really...from the looks of the other equipment ya got i wouldnt guess they are like competition or anything so they probably wont push what they rate i would think a 2guage setup would be fine... you can get 2guage amp kits on ebay for like $30 shipped....

What do you think so far, and is there anything else you think I need to add? What is your opinions on brand/gauge of speaker wire, and also RCA's? I know I need to get those still, and probably an alternator.

I am taking out 2 Hifonics Industria Series amps, Infinity Perfect 10.1, JVC HU and 12 disc changer, and a Stinger wiring kit.

I have not decided if I should just bridge the Olympus to 2 channel to give ALOT of power (more than is rated) to the comps, or give the extra 2 channels to some rear speakers???? That is a big question.

Also what rca's I need depends on if I am going to do 2 channel or 4 channel off of that amp. The 2000 peak/1000 rms amp has 2 80 amp fuses, but the 4000 peak/2000 rms amp has no exposed fuses.
