You are gonna wanna wire your subs down to 1 ohm. That's where you will get the power that the subs require.

As for power wire, you need to get a minimum of 4 gauge to run the amp. That is the biggest wire the amp will accept without using an adapter. If you decide to go with 4 gauge I would suggest http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9894_Rockford-Fosgate-RFK4I.html due to its good price and great wire. You will have to pick up some speaker wire using this kit, but that's not too hard. Hit up your local audio shop for 10 gauge. Unless those subs have some massive tinsel leads, you wont need more than that for speaker wire. If you do decide to buy for future builds, go with at least a single ought or 0/1 gauge like http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_45055_Belva-BAK02.html and get a pair of 0/1 to 4AWG adapters like these ones http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_46119_Stinger-SPT521-Chrome.html?from=3 from sonic.

I can say that you are going to want to build for improvement. You are going to love those subs now, but sometime in the future, you are going to want more. Its an addiction. A beast that needs to be fed. Welcome to life as a Bass Addict.
