Ok question 1. where can I find a COMPLETE amp wiring kit? 2. I dont know how many amps my alternator is running, but if I get like a 80 amp fuse to hook up my amp will that be bad?

Yes, cause most stock alternators are 65A - 75A the most. Don't use more than 60A fuse, unless you upgrade to HO alternators.
You can buy complete amp wiring kits from Walmart and any audio shops. They cost around $30 average.

Yeah I think my truck's alternator is producing like 60 amps, would it be alright if I got a 70 amp fuse or no?

Nothing's stopping you from using 70A fuse, but I wouldn't recommend using a fuse that's higher than your alternator's amperage.

The ones at walmart are only like 300 to 350 and 1400 watts, dont I need a 2000 watt amp cuz that is what kind of amp I have.

Match the amp wiring it with your amp's power. So if you have 2000W RMS amp, then get 2000W rms kit. If walmart doesn't have anything that big, you can try BestBuy, Circuit City or any audio shops. Don't get fooled into buying expensive kits. 4 gauge wire is still 4 gauge no matter how much you pay.
