Yes You will need an amp kit in order to put your amp in. What you're going need to need look for is power line that will fit into the amp. IE if the amp takes 4 gauge in then you'll need 4 ga. If it takes 8 then 8 gauge. You'll also need either 1 4 channel rca cable or 2 2 channel rcas these are the wires that will carry the line level signal from the avic to the amp. Most cars you'll need 5 meter or 17 ft cables. Then the speaker wire, you'll want at least 18 gauge for the power the amp is putting out. About 30ft. shou do it. Finally the remote wire should come in either a 17 or 25 ftt length. These are the basics I can get more in depth with the model of the amp and year make model of the vechoile if you need.

The gauge is how thick the wiring is. Based on what I've read about the amp you have, you'll need an 8 gauge amp kit. Something like this

You'll also need a second set of rcas since you're using a 4 channel amp

I wouldn't recommend getting exactly the one I linked to because the rcas have a tendency to fall apart.

Just get an 8 gauge kit. The fuse should come with power kit. The remote wire is the wire that tells the amp when to turn on.
