A good brand 8 Gauge should be good for this amp, if(I don't know how you could)you added an extra $10 on the purchase, I have some New 8 Gauge Rolls, I could put together a pretty nice wire kit and ship together! And I can Print of the 18 Page Manual to send along also. Or email it to you!

you will need a preamp or a reciever with preamp outputs...its a nice unit for the money, it does have a power gain control on the back of the unit if you are pairing it with another amp..good luck

Ideally, you should use a 200amp fuse if I understand your question correctly. Wiki American wire gauge for more info.. Hope this helps.

The car I used this for had a factory amp so I was just keeping the wiring consistent with what I was removing. I actually purchased both harnesses for the vehicle because I wasn't sure what I would see when I removed the factory head unit.

Check ohm of speakers, make sure your ground wire from the amp is well grounded, it must be touching bare metal on the frame of the car.

From what I researched 4 gauge or 6 gauge on power line and ground, with a 80 to 100 amp fuse and at least 12 gauge on wire to subs. You can probably verify this with a stereo installer at Best Buy or calling Crutchfield to be safe. It's your car expend all avenues to make sure on your installation,on will it be fine if installed. You don't want any fires.

Its hard to explain the wire hook up. Go on crutchfield sub wiring diagram and it will explain to you how to wire subs with certain loads with any amp. Just select your setup and it will show you exactly how its done

Basically just the amp.You will have to buy the correct wire to do the install properly. Don't shrimp on the wiring.Probably can find good deals on ebay for the wire. I did. If I remember correctly 20 to $30 for all the wire needed.Its a big amp,so be sure you got room to put it.

I would definitely use a 4 gauge amp kit with an 80 amp in line fuse to install this amp. This is the one I bought; KnuKonceptz KCA Complete 4 Gauge Amp Installation Kit

See my review of this amp kit on Amazon. If it does not answer your questions then get back to me.

It depends on what your pioneer stereo has in the back. But you wouldn't need that for amp and sub. For that I would find a starter wiring kit. The amp for your subs would tell you the specs and what wires you need

Yes you can hook these speakes up to previous car wire set. no need for an amp

You would need to double up the factory harness and then wire in the amp. Not easy but doable

Yes you do need an amp for it. I suggest pairing it with a pioneer digital amp. I have 2 of these In my TDI golf 2013 and they save so much space but have higher decibel readings then some of the extensive setups my friends have installed so far.

Better to get an amplifier installed, something like - http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Amplifiers/GM+Series/GM-A3602

I for an extra $70 went with the rockford fosgate prime 1200 Watt Mono block amp. It's a perfect match for the power handling of the sub (600 Watts RMS 1200 peak) for wiring kit I went with rockford 4 AWG wiring kit. It's a little more spendy than a lot of the wiring kits you'll find on here but it is WORTH it. I have it installed in my new subaru and it hits so hard people are in disbelief when I tell them it's a single 12 inch sub. Any 4 gauge wiring kit should work for that amount of power. You could even go 2 gauge if you want. You'll want at least 100 amp fuse on your power cord (from your car battery to your amp) this was all included with the rockford kit as well as high quality RCA's. If you go with a cheap kit you run risk of choking your sound quality. If your going to get it installed in a shop they will also point you in the right direction for a wiring kit. If your doing it yourself and have the extra money I'd go with the rockford kit.

This should have everything you would need with the exception of however you intend to connect the wires. Soldering the connections is how I did it because that is the most fool proof method, but it isn't as easy. You will need to find a wiring diagram for your particular vehicle though. I would recommend looking into the adapters from bBulldog security. You can check if they have one for your vehicle on their webpage. They are supposed to make it pretty much plug and play! Hope that helps you out.
