Alright heres another one. I've got a Alpine 450 watt mono channel amp and 2 10in Alpine 400 watt-200 rms subs, in an enclosed box. Now what I need help on is what wiring kit should I use and how to wire the subs to the amp. The box is already wired and there are 2 separate wire terminals for each sub. I was shopping online and saw an 8 gauge wiring kit for "Pyle" at Target for 16.99, is that a deal or should I get a better one? Thanks for the help everyone!

I would recommend a 4 gauge kit for 400 watts RMS or more.
Since you don't provide enough info on the subs, giving you an answer on wiring them will be difficult as there are many types of configurations with subs.
My site has information on sub wiring methods (and other tips): http://spkrbox1.spaces.live.com

if it was me i would just go to walmart get the amp kit that comes with a capacitor it has a four gage power wire and comes with a distribution block to run multiple amps if you want to spend a little extra money and your system will sound lots better

you could use 8 gauge, but i agree with sparky, i wouldnt go less then 4. subs draw a lot of current. also i wouldnt go with a pyle amp kit. hell scosch from wal-mart would be better.
good luck

first answer is authentic, although, as long as you maintain the solids and stripes consistent, it does not truthfully count in case you hook them up detrimental stripe or effective stripe...only save them each and every of the comparable..
