go with 8, but if you have the money, get 4 and a distribution block if you want to expand in the future

dont buy amp kits...they are a waste of money. goto an install shop and buy 4 gauge power and ground cable for like 1.50 a foot...an inline fuse, Audio RCA cables(two ends, red and white) and the fuse. WAY cheaper... Try to get Monster Cable

well lets see,
4G 15 or 20 feet i don't remmember, 5 feet 4G gorund cable,
small connectores i think it run up to around $60 or something like that. I would say go to Circuit city and get monster cables amp kit. Go with at least 8g. if you don't care about quality and brand name go to walmart and their cheap stuff.

I dunno what to do with my terminal.
I would've used it for my sealed box, but then i decided to go ported..

Go with an 8 awg kit. I owned a car stereo shop for 8 years and a kit actually cost me less than the wire etc. separate. I liked Scosche, Memphis, Streetwires, etc. Cheap kits usually have stiff wire and sorry patch cords.

I spent $30 on my amp kit and I love it. I'm glad that i stopped using that cheap amp wire that i was using before.
