i would add a battery isolator and another yellow top. in a pinch you can put a normal starting battery up front for now and mover the yellow top to the rear to avoid buying another battery. i'd get some extra 0 gauge then what they give you with a kit so you can do the big 3 upgrade, and also some good cable for the sub, at least 12 gauge or better, maybe 8 gauge power cable. other then that, proper enclosure, decent RCA cables, and some sound deading for the trunk if you want to do it right.

even if they don't know how just tell them what you want installed...

Also i would recommend keeping the yellow up front and getting a kinetik or powermaster for the trunk....

You need to make sure you have someone who can fit a 10cuft box in your trunk. Good luck with that.

Actually it says 5-10cuft. The sub takes .26 cuft and the port will take a few cubic feet as well. I'd also recommend going as big as possible which in reality means you are going to need more than 10cuft...
