if i didn't buy a kit and just bought everything seperately, is their anything else i would need?
- 16+ ft. of 0 AWG wire (power)
- 150 amp ANL Fuse and Fuse holder
- 8+ ft of 2/4 AWG wire (power)
- 8+ ft of 2/4 AWG wire (ground)
- 3 X RCA Cables
- 0 to 2x4 Power distrobution block
- 16+ ft of 16 AWG Remote Turn on wire (blue)
- Wire ties and Connectors
Am i missing a critical piece? Thats all i think I need, although I don't have a degree in Car Audio like some people who use this site...

You could get away with 4 awg, then 8. Save some money if you like. I suggest 20 feet of any wire that is going from the front of the car to the back. (power/remote)
if by 3x RCA you mean 3 RCA cables with 2 plugs on each, then you'll be ok. Otherwise you'll want 4 actual RCA plugs for the 4chan amp; + some for the sub, unless your using high level inputs or something.

Scosche Wiring kit
That'll work right?
Running this system am I gonna need a cap? or should my stock electrical system be able to handle it, should I do the big three?

They say their wire is 15.5mm. According to the AWG wiki American wire gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 4/0 = 11.68mm.
Thats a very high gauge. I would suggest something smaller, but if you don't mind paying for it.
I would also suggest more power wire. 17 feet is cutting it close IMO.
You'll need a fuse. Doesn't say if they supply one, or at what rating.

When I read the reviews on that wiring kit a few people said that the wire was not true 0 guage wire, that it was alot smaller than predicted. So I think it should work out,plus it's only 75$ haha!... As far as a fuse goes I will e-mail the company and see if it comes with one, if not what size should I get 150?
- For future references, when determining the approriate wire guage to use is it measured in RMS power or Peak power? And if you have a 2/4/6 channel amp that puts out 50x4 RMS(for example) do you add that up to be 200 RMS?
