sub question

i currently have new 6.5 components in the doors and 5.25's behind the seat all going to a 5 channel amp. iam having a 10 inch sub box delivered today would it be hard for me to wire the sub to the amp or do i need to take it back to the stereo place?

i'm installing my sub in the next week or so.

all you need is an amp installation kit. this is the kit i went with.

i wanted something a little heavier than 4 gauge, but not as big as 0/1 so 2 gauge was just the ticket.

plus none of the other kits i found had included a grommet, so that's one less thing to worry about.

He doesn't need an amp kit, he already has the amp installed.
