Not 100% sure about the above, but I read this on one of the threads here.
You do need to add separate power/ground and the cabling isn't included with the amp. I bought the following from Knukonceptz for ~$28:

KFX8R Kolossus Fleks Kable 8 Gauge Red Power/Ground Wire
KFX8BK Kolossus Fleks Kable 8 Gauge Black Power/Ground Wire
RT8516R Gold Plated 8 Gauge Ring Terminal -Red (get 3/4 of these in case you mess up the crimp)
FH-44 In Line 4-8 Gauge Mini-ANL Fuse Holder with Fuse(includes fuse of your choice, select Type 1 - 50A)
MANL-50 Mini ANL (MIDI) Fuse 50 Amp (extra fuse)
