You need the LOC itself and an amp install kit. Knukonceptz makes great stuff for cheap. If you're literally asking for each wire you'll need....for whatever reason.... Power wire long enough to go to the battery, same gauge ground wire to ground the amp in the trunk, an inline fuse holder with appropriate sized fuse, RCA cables to go from LOC to amp, remote turn on wire, speaker wire to run to the sub, and any speaker wire extension you may need depending on where you're mounting the LOC in relation to where you're tapping from.
Let me know the brand name and model number of your amp and I'll recommend an exact kit.

Yeah they are plenty not putting in anything huge.
Well I connected the power wire the remote turn on wire to the AUX port in the center arm rest, connected the LOC and connected the RCA cables in, connected the ground to the bolt where the jack goes, and the wires to sub.
It doesnt work ..

From what I've read so far, you're in over your head. I'm not trying to sound like a dick, but you don't know what you're doing and I'd hate to see you nuke any of your equipment or worse, start a fire in your car. Pay Best Buy 90 bucks to do the install properly for you. Their work is guaranteed for life.
As I stated in my post above, the power wire needs to be run directly off the battery and also needs to be properly fused. This is NON NEGOTIABLE. In addition, it sounds like you're going to have troubles getting through the firewall properly. The ground wire needs to be bare metal to metal. No paint or primer between the connection. Take it to a pro and chalk up the money as well spent.

Remote wire to my AUX in center console just wasn't put on right.
With all due respect, I was simply looking out for your best interest. You came onto the forum not even knowing what wires were needed to install an amp. "i know i need Ground, amp-sub." whatever that is suppose to mean. Then you said you have your power wire and remote wire connected to the AUX port in the rear armrest. So go figure why one might think you have no clue what you're doing and are risking a fire.
