Default Help with amplifier/subwoofer installation

I just purchased a Kicker zx300.1 amplifier and Kicker Comp DC12" Subwoofers for my 2007 Scion TC. I was wondering what is the correct line output converter I should buy for it. Also the guy at bestbuy told me I should only buy the Rockford Fosgate amplifier wiring kit but this is the most pricey one, does anyone think I could get away with using another brand and if so which one? Thanks.

There are lots of LOCs that will work fine, here's what I'm using;

Lots of wiring kits will work fine too. You only need 8 gauge for that amp, but if you might upgrade or add another amp in the future, it'd be better to go with 4 gauge.
Here's a good kit at a fair price;

That should be less than the RF kit at BB, and this one comes with a good set of twisted-pair RCAs too.

HTH.

they try to sell the RF amp kit cuz its one of their most expensive ones. check ebay for amp kits ( i've gotten 0gauge Kicker amp for 75 new on there) and also check local shops for stinger amp kits as well.

for the price of the RF kit you can get Knukoncepts.com wires which are way better.
