Have a look through THESE.

You'll need a big fat power cable, a ground cable, RCA leads and speaker wire.

Might be worth phoning them up and telling them what gear you're planning on running. You don't want to risk getting wire that's too cheap/thin.

so, 300w rms sub and amp

and 50w components

not to kill your fire, but peak power means nada.

as for wiring, the RCA cables and speaker wires can be anything as long as its shielded and not cheap as hell. the power cable you'll want to be nice and thick (8swg(awg) ish is what i have) but not so thick you can't get it through the car
