i'll help u with the install no doubt if u need any hand. One thing tho, that amp is a bad match for dual 4 ohm subs. with dual 4 ohm u can either get 1 ohm (which is danger zone for a phd2 if you daily drive it) or 4 ohm (which is only half the power of that amp), yes you can daily drive the amp at 4 ohm, but where is the fun when you can only use 1000rms? lol.
As for electrical system get a biggest battery that fits your car, for one phd2 4 gauge is enough, although i have two runs of 1/0 in my jeep from the battery straight into the amps.

ad me to your MSN if you have it, @hotmail.com and join my forum for more help at www.canadaspl.com

oh yah, also make sure your deck has a REALLY good crossover on it or low pass filter. the crossover on the PHD2 is simply not functional and filters nothing.

also do you plan on competing with this, or do you just want a loud daily driver? I agree with yuli about everything except I'd do 1/0 gauge wire.. just because if you get it at the right place it'll be cheap and as for battery I would switch to a Hawker Odyssey 1200 (I know where to get them cheap if your interested) and my msn is barclay_c@hotmail.com

how much power will the PHD2 really do at 2ohms, I think it was carsound who tested it at 2ohms (whether it was reactive or not i don't know) and it fell short of its rating and did something like 1800 watts.
