something similar to that. You can choose from like 25 from this site alone in 4 gauge, even more in 8, but you should always use 4, its just ... better.

Thats a lower priced setup, has everything you need to wire 1 amp and 1 or 2 subs easily, plus fuse holder, power block, you name it. For a few more bucks you can get a kicker or monstor cable setup also, but cable's cable really, unless it's RCA's.

That's not a bad kit, a bit expensive though...
You could probably pick all that up seperately on ebay for half that.

You will also need wire cutters/strippers, screwdrivers and Allen wrenches, and probably a drill to mount things like the amp, and distro block. A circuit tester is nice too.
You can pick up a pack with 4 different testers at Wally World for about 8 bucks.

to add to this id get some metal screws and screw the box down to the car so it doesnt slosh around when driving(believe me)lol. pretty much for your setup just get the tools as posted and even a 4 guage wiring kit would probably be plenty for you. good luck bud
