Get a Lightning Audio or Rockford Fosgate wiring kit. They can be had for about $40 each at SoundDomain.com. And then you are gonna need to get the amp that has a matching resistance, or ohm load. What are the subs' ohms? Any idea about that would help you a helluva lot...thats really all u need besides maybe a battery post clamp thing with a spot for ur power wire...PM me if ya need any quick help

you can pick up any amp wirring kit and it will have everything you need.
just make sure it is at least 4 gauge. don't go any smaller.

i have 8 AWG but i only have 200 watts and its recommended with 10 AWG...so it basically just depends on ur set up...but 4 AWG is a good one to go with just due to the fact that you may want to add more amps or a larger one...good luck with the setup

Looks like wiring is covered, so...
First of all, what subs do you have? Any names? Any numbers? If neither of your 10ers take too much power to run, I would look into Soundstream's Rubicon 2 amplifiers (very clean, very nice, revolutionised circuitry). If you are looking for some more power try Concept Audio (that's what I'm running, and I love it). Without any information on the subs themselves or how much money you have I don't think people can help too much.

Personally, I think a 15" subwoofer is overkill in a small to medium coupe/sedan/hatchback. Two 10s are nice though.

And I can't emphasize enough, get a box that's the right volume for the subs specifications. You will loose a lot from low-end frequencies if you don't get the correct box. Consult the company that your subs are made by for specs.

Good call. Another cheap but underrated amp is the US Acoustics series. I have heard nothing but compliments with this amp. But like he said ^^^ you need to know what the subs are capable of...
