Wrong... There are plenty of people here who could walk him through it. Its just a matter of willingness to do so as it would take a lot of typing to walk him through everything.
Reality is that wiring up an amp and 2 subs is really not difficult as it is a pretty basic set up. It might be different if he were looking for a competition set up, but for this purpose it is simple enough.
Power cable - run from battery power terminal to possitive input on amp
Ground cable - run from negative output of amp to a bolt that is grounded to the frame of the car.
Remote wire (small blue wire usualy) - run from the terminal between the power and ground on the amp to the remote wire output on the ******** harness.
RCA cables - run from the ******** harness to the RCA inputs on the amp (making sure lt and rt are connected to lt and rt).
Speaker wires - run from amp outputs to sub box terminal inputs and then from the sub box terminal to sub. Just make note that the pos and neg are connected properly to pos and neg of amp, sub box terminal, and subwoofers.
It literaly is that simple. He is not running anything that will require too much more than that. As long as the gain and bass boost are not turned up too high on this system I wouldnt even say that a capacitor is needed.
As far as connectores go, wring terminals can be crimped to the ends of the power and ground cables connected to the battery and car frame, the other end is left open to slide into the terminal on the amp. Just make sure you don't have any loose cables that might come in contact with each other so that you dont get a short. Heat shrink is nice and gives a cleaner look and covers open cables so that there is no chance of them touching each other, but it is not necissary for an install.
The one thing that most people do wrong is not hooking up the pos to pos and neg to neg, and with the ******** harness all the other wiring issues are taken care of for you so no worries there!
