That's alright. You've come to the right place.
No matter if you buy a 12" woofer or a Basslink kit, you still need to run wires. The only thing you are saving are the box construction and possibly the amp choice and amp to driver wiring. There are some nice kits out now to help with installations.
For example one includes: (Copy and paste from product info)
