umm you said a wiring harness but did you mean harness for original car sterio to aftermarket deck, youu need a power ground and all the terminals for the power system. and the antenna adapter umm fuse holder? and most more likely you will need a battery terminal to attatch your power cable to battery., im sure theres more,

I actually have an amp for that already. Just I dunno I thought running it off the deck would not be so bad. I'll get a 4 channel wiring kit instead now to run the door speakers off an amp.

What I meant was a wiring harness to connect the new deck to the car wiring. The wiring harness came with two bunches of wires, I think one is the power ground and terminal for the power system that you refer to. Or does that come with amp installation kits?

Don't need an antenna adapter for my car. And I believe the fuse holder, battery terminal, and power cable all come with the amp installation kit.

Thanks for looking out though.

I think the amp's RMS is either 500 or 600 watts so it should be good.

Quite sure I will be able to come up with a great wiring kit for you in the same price range as well.

Buying from the US is good if you can go pick it up yourself like he mentioned above. If not then its a whole different story with duties and extra taxes etc like mr2nr said. I buy regularly from the U.S. and pick it up myself and all i've ever had to pay was the fare to get over and 5 $ to pick it up from the ups store in the states. no duties, no taxes for anything under 200-250 $ they wont bother you. I bought an amp, when declared , I payed like 30 $ of taxes on a 400 $ amp and shipping to canada alone was over 60 $ + duties + taxes + brokerage., but free to any 48 states. so if you pick up in the states, all the "paying all these fees and crap" don't apply lol..

I would def look in canada first.. if you dont think you can find a good price, you just haven't asked around !
