(1) Kicker zx400.1 Amp

(1) ******** Exclusive 2010 & Up Camaro Non BA Amp Integration kit

If you're using this amp mount, then it's not going to fit. You may manage to get it to fit, but it exceeds the advertised size limits. You're amp is about 1.875" too wide.

Yes, zkdreads is right, you need an amp kit. More specifically, you need to power your amp. The RCAs and speaker wire are already included with your ******** kit. I would not buy the kit he recommended. You do not need the cap for your amp, the kit includes RCAs and other stuff that you do not need either. You can spend a couple dollars more and get better quality stuff.

I would get this amp kit, which also comes with the RCA cables that you do not need. And since you will probably just want to use the battery for a ground, you should get 10' of this. Also, the kit includes an 80A fuse, but your amp calls for a 40A fuse, so you should get [http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDe...dID=AGU40]this fuse[/url].

You're also going to need speaker wire to go from your amp to your sub. I recommend 6' of this stuff. edit: the amp kit I suggested includes speaker wire, but I still like this stuff. And you will probably want a bass knob to better control your sub.

You could actually order our 12" integrated kit (item 5G-int12). This is advertised as a boston kit, but now that we have our own non ba output harness, what we would do is simply swap out our boston harness in that kit for non ba harness. The power/ground/rca/ are already part of that kit so it is all inclusive.

Is said (non-ba) harness on your site? If so, please provide a link. If not, please let us know pricing and upload pics, if available. I'm interested in pricing for just the harness, nothing else.

$119 for the 4-channel version and $69 for the mono-amp version. Price is more than fair considering the cost of the PAC harness and other included wires.

Just wanted to see what it was. I'm glad I made my own. It cost me about 20 minutes of my time and was less than half of what they're selling the exact same thing for. At least someone saw the need and made it available.
