Something like this 8 Gauge wiring kit would do the job. Just buy the cheapest 8 gauge kit you can find!

I suppose 1 amp would look abit strange in the boot though.
I'll probably put it under the seat atleast It's easier to get to for adjusting settings etc. 
I'm hoping all this lot isn't that hard to install.

You wont need to alter the settings mate. You set it once and thats it forever!
Its a piece of cake to install, just time consuming as it can be quite fiddly!

Yup! Alarm it all ftw!
And sound deadening will make it sound a lot warmer and punchier!

Fully works now tbh I was surprised how easy it was to fit lol
Can't believe Halfrauds charge £40.
Works great and sounds a lot better than that standard piece of turd!

14sqft iirc for boot floor and boot lid
then about 2sqft on each door
more if possible
get the damplifier bulk pack from cad, it costs £79 and is enough to do two layers in boot and doors and still have some left over
