Personally I think with those amps you should be able to use a 'true' 4GA wiring kit and not a CCA one ie. streetwires, stinger, kicker, etc. With those amps I don't see a need to upgrade to a high out alt however it will never hurt.
I would upgrade your wiring under the hood which is called the Big 3 to run with your existing wire
Battery to ground
Alt positive (inline fuse this one) to Battery positive
Engine to body ground
Plus upgrade your battery terminals from the crappy oem honda ones. You don't need to get fancy stinger ones. $5 cheapish from NAPA will do.
The HU can run off the existing harness in the dash, you'll just have to get a conversion harness which around $10 to $15 .

\This amp has a build in low pass coverover so you'll be set. Just use the RCA out on this amp to the RCA IN on your sub amp, set your low pass and you'll be good.
The remote wire yes, the main power wires I wouldn't. Just get a cheap 2 or 3 position fused block. You might want to check out www.diymobileaudio.com for some great deals on good wire and other small stuff you need.

HI,
There should be a spot for it marked remote or similiar. You run the blue wire from your deck to one of your amps, and run another piece of wire from the one amp remote on/off to the other amp remote on/off.
Another good site to check out for some good info and pictures

Maybe you should get someone to install all this stuff for you?

I went with a kicker 0 guage kit. But I am running a bigger system and I like to overkill with my mods...Anyways I guess in answer to your question a true 4 gauge kit or 2 gauge if you wanna overkill will be fine. The battery and alternator you can upgrade later or now if you have the cash. You can do all of these installs yourself a with the help of a good friend, and a case of beer.

LOl yah thats true lol thanks for all the help i just picked up a 20ft 4 guage wire today and how this is the actual material suppose to be i went with my friend to pick it up and he has more knowledge but the wiring in the inside doesn't look as big as the old power wire i used to have before but i picked it up
