Yeah, it can be difficult (see username). I was gonna suggest a refurb receiver from A4L, but while it’s normally $9 shipping to the mainland US, it’s $80 for Honolulu.
However, right now the Denon X1400 is only $400 (normally $600) and still includes Prime shipping to Oahu, so get on that right now.
For the subwoofer, I’d go Rythmik. I know their L12 is $539 plus $60 shipping to Oahu ($85 for priority shipping), not sure on their LV12R model. So depending on sealed or ported, you may wanna contact them.
So, let’s just call that $1100.
Wireless is not a native option, there is an adaptor for $100 though.
Surrounds can be <$100, so focus only on the front speakers.
For front speakers, I’d go with Emotiva (B1 + C1, or better C2) or HSU (they ship to Hawaii, but you’d have to contact them).

You’d also need speaker wire, subwoofer cable, HDMI cables, and maybe speaker stands.
Speaker wire: Anything 18awg or lower really (lower is better, can be longer length with less signal loss). If you don’t want to be stripping wires and what not, I recommend and own GearIT’s braided and pre-terminated cables, but they are out of stock, but these look like a great alternative, you’d need 3 pairs for the fronts (use normal wire for surrounds). Now, since a roll of in-wall 100ft wire can be had for $50 or less, you can buy that if you want to save money and don’t mind the cheaper look and having to strip the wire (what I do in my cheaper setups, I splurged for my good setup). I also recommend Monoprice banana plugs (the semi-expensive cables I listed already have them).
Subwoofer cable: Amazon Basics or Mediabridge (on Amazon).
HDMI cable: I’d get these.
Speaker stands (if needed): I like this one (wire concealment and the top plate swivels to allow toe-in (so you have OCD-like tendencies like I do, it’s really cool).
