Am I Missing Anything?

I haven't hooked up a system in about 7 years so I need some help with the right wires. Do I need any thing else besides:
1) Power wire from amp to battery
2) Ground wire from amp to a ground
3) RCA cables from head unit to amp
4) Speaker wires

I just need to know if I am missing any wires. I have done this many times,just not in years and not in a Maxima.

I have a 12 I am gonna put in the trunk, but not right away. I got a new Kenwood HU and wanna go ahead and run the wires since I will have everything out already.Thanks!

are you going aftermarket.. if so your gonna need an adapter which will make your application so much easier.. i got mine from crutchfield.. you plug into car harness and hook radio up to it .. then you can use the remote wire from the rear if you have the bose system.. i did about 7 max bose systems and thats how i do it..

Are you talking about an adapter as in the wiring harness for the car to the stereo? If so I already have that.
But what are you talking about when you say the remote wire from the rear?
The rear of the Kenwood? Or the Bose radio?

if you have the adapter, when you turn on your radio it will also power your bose amps in the rear.. you can tap into the power line in the rear. this will act as your remote turn on..
