wiring question

alright well i have all the equipment to finally hook up my system, I think. I have 2 subs in the box already and an amp on the side. i have the monster cables for the amp. what other wires will i need to complete the setup and how much am i looking at? Someone was saying something about a ground wire, rca cable, and power wire or something. Is that all i'm going to need? Thanks in advance. Also would it be easy to set the system up on my own or should i take it to a pro? Thanks again.

If you have to ask those kinds of questions and don't know how to figure it out with the owner's manuals, then you need to take it to a pro.

clue #3 that you need to take it to a pro.
a service manual of chilton's will do you NOTHING when you're trying to install a stereo system.

You need the owner's manuals for the stuff you're trying to install, not the car.

i would spend the money and get it done right if u dont what ur doing
be aware that u will get bent over. any chain of stores like best buy or circuit city will hit u for a high price. if ur near houston i could get some one to hook it up for u. When i was an installer at best buy they charge $55 to put the amp in $12 each to screw the subs in and over $100 in parts that u need and $50 in junk u dont need.
