any amp kit would be fine as long as it says it can hold the watts of your amp. but if you have the money there are audiobahn amp kit. i think is a little better than the generic but its almost the same.

well for 1400W get atleast 2 guage power/groundwire
and id run something heavy to the speakers too. as for kits...blah blah just get the wire and do it yourself. dont worry about a CAP just yet. go for some thick wire and youll be fine.

You can get pretty much any amp kit really. Just get some good RCA's. And you should definately worry about a cap pushing out 1400 watts to 2 15in audiobahns. I had 2 12in audiobahn Alum 12Q's pushing a 1200 watt audiobahn amp and it was killing my battery. So definately invest in a cap especially with a regular battery and stock alternator.

is that 1400 watt amp a audiobahn? yeah id go with a 2ga amp kit but i think u could get by with a 4 ga. as far as brand iv found on amp kits it really doesnt matter. power wire is power wire as far as im concerned. only thing i would look for is a pair of good rca's cuz thats were u loose quality with cheap shiz... id would also definatly find a cap or your be watchin your headlights dim hah

anything over 600watts RMS will push a 15inch speaker no problem.
600watts RMS is somewhere around 1300watts MAX (depending on the brand)
also, stay away from Rockford Fosgate amps, they arent worth a shit when it comes to pushing big speakers like 15s

Are you sure that you want to spend $1000+ if you don't know what 'basics' you need to wire an amp and 2 speakers? If you are against learning how to do it right from a friend, or having a pro do it, there is nothing we need to tell you that isn't true for all cars. What is an 'amp kit'? You need wires, a fuse, and experience.
Oh, and my low power rockford amp taught all of my "high watt hype" friends the truth. It's an old amp on a 15'' JL, which magically outperformed all of the newer expensive stuff. Just my experience though. I don't buy that power is better than quality.

P.S.
Dont forget a car noise eliminator(i dont remember the actual name).
I used 4ag wire, and RCAs. And a capacitor comes in handy if your gonna blow at a car show. Keeps it constant, no fading.
And joe, what model rockford is that, after 2000 i believe they went to cheater amps....you know when it says 300 watts its more like 450...and so on. Thats why rockfords are so cool!

I have a 2 way 250watt, old style looking.. bought it from a friend cheap, so I assume its 98-01 or something like that. It just does good on my 15, and I've heard off-brand amps of higher power barely make any noise on the same speaker... so I believe it's all about the quality.
