yes, it should include all you need
which is: +12v wire(long) ground wire (short) REM wire(that you put on the ACC wire that goes to your radio) RCA patch cables. some pointers... 1. run the RCA lines on the opposite side of the vehicle from the power wire, otherwise you may get alternator whine. 2. find a good, solid ground, like a bolt that goes into the chassis, remove it, and w/ a wire brush, clean it senseless, if not, you may create a "ground loop" which again, will cause alternator whine. 3. Mount everything very good!!! i cannot tell you the importance of that.. when i 'drive spirited' my sub flys around my hatch and rips the wires out from my amp. not good. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
