Default Project Update Pics Attached

Project Update:

I have purchased everything I will need for the system
Alpine 9855
Alpine Ipod Interface
MB Quart Reference Speakers (RC 216)
JL 10W3V2D6
Subthump Box
Rockford Fosgate Punch 601s
PPI Pc450

I had purchased equipment to wire my car, but was pissed when I found out how much extra I was paying for everything. I went to BestBuy and purchased the Rockford Fosgate Dual Amp wiring kit $150.00, RF Circuit Breaker $70.00, 2 RF Fuse Holders $40.00 and a wiring harness for $18.00 ($278.00). I then found the same items on caraudio.com for the following: Rockford Fosgate Dual Amp wiring kit 99.00, RF Circuit Breaker $17.00, 2 RF Fuse Holders $18.00 and the wiring harness for $7.00 ($141.00). The only problem is that I had ordered my JL sub from caraudio and it took them 4 weeks to deliver a sub that was "In-Stock." Does anyone know of a trustworthy site that is reasonably priced and would deliver within a reasonalbe amount of time?

And before I get to the pictures, when I disconnected the Bose Head Unit, there were two sets of wires. I found a harness that fits the bigger harness, but I don't know what the smaller harness is for. Can any one help me on this?

The pictures below are of the car fattmatted. I figured that while I was installing the stereo system, I might as well put in a HUD. I hope these pictures show up, this is my first time posting pics on the forum.
