amp install kit and speaker wires long enough to run from amp to your components, plus speaker wire from components to crossover depending on where you put the crossover.

always go with bigger wire so go with 4 gauge.that way if you expand in the future your wires do not need pulled and changed as well.plus 4 is only a couple dollars more than 8 gauge.
