How much would installation cost me and is there other necessities beside 0gauge amp wire (input also needed)?

you will have to upgrade the "big 3" (the wires in your charging system) and if that's not enough you will have to get a high output alternator (only after that can you think about adding an extra battery and don't waste your cash on capacitors)

i would recommend going with a CEA-compliant amp for those subs because Hifonics over rates their stuff, you would be lucky to get half of the advertised wattage and it would more than likely be distorted (distortion is the main cause of speaker damage)--- plus if you don't know the "real" RMS wattage its impossible to properly match your amp and subs and that causes problems, here why
If you send too much power to your sub, you risk damaging it. The cone of the speaker and the mechanical parts that make it move may break under the stress. Surprisingly, too little power can also damage your subwoofer — in fact, it's actually more common than damage caused by overpowering.
When the volume is turned up and the amp doesn't have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!
You don't have to match speaker and amp wattages exactly. An amp with a higher output than the speaker's rating won't necessarily damage the speaker — just turn the amp down a bit if you hear distortion from the sub and don't run the speaker at extremely loud volumes for lengthy periods. Likewise, you'll be OK with a lower powered amp if you keep the volume down and don't feed a distorted signal to the sub

with CEA-compliant brands the amps have been tested and produce of exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion
here are the CEA-compialnt brands
Alpine
Bazooka
Blaupunkt
Clarion
Eclipse
Infinity
JBL
JL Audio
JVC
Kenwood
Kicker
Memphis
MTX
Orion
Pioneer
Polk Audio
PPI
Rockford Fosgate
Sony

as far as the inside speakers are concerned you dont have enough wattage for them-- so when you start to turn the volume up they will sound distorted because the radios internal amplifier will be over worked trying to supply the neccasery wattage (remember distortion is the main cause of speaker damage)--- for best results you will need to have an amp on them

as far as installation goes it depends on where you go and if you got your stuff from them because that will make a difference-- anywhere from about $150 to a few hundred

thanks a lot

Go with the Alpine X300.

The 15" Alpine Type R can smoke 3 15" P2's. The Type R is 750 watts RMS and the P2 is 250 watts RMS. The Type R can handle 3 times more the watts than the P2 can handle. Go with the type R.
