I lied. I think this will be my last question. What kind of terminal do I use to run the speaker wire out of the sub box?

Nevermind on that last question. I am going to use threaded brass rod and brass nuts.

both of mine, I ran the wires straight of the box, no interface.I actually "ported" the boxes and just ran the wires out the port- since both are down firing, it works well. But you're supposed to use a terminal cup.

When my dad gets home I'm going to order most of it. The amp is out of stock. So I will get everything except for the amp and will get the amp later.

Yes that is the harness you need. On the speaker wires exiting the box, unless you plan on taking the box in and out of the truck just drill a hole in the mdf some place where it won't show like on the back of the box. Drill a hole just slightly larger than the wire size itself, if using 14-16 gauge wire use a 1/4" drill bit. It will be tight but will pull through the hole just fine. Seal it off with silicone from inside the box if the speaker wire hole is too big.

Is it possible to get speaker wire with just a single wire or can I split the wire into 2 pieces?
