what amp did u get after? If it reccomends 8 guage then the chances of getting anything bigger in the terminal are quite slim

8 gauge will be fine on that. Although run some 4 gauge if you're gonna expand.
A nice Kicker 8agu kit goes for £40-50 of a decent IXOS for around £30. Believe it or not there's a nice Autoleads 8 gauge kit that goes for £30. It's in a nicely packaged carboard box.
This should not be confused with the plastic fronted £20 12 gauge piece of shit for us dealers buy in for a fiver.
