Thanks again for your replies. My buddy that originally started the install with me showed up this morning to complete it. I needed to bridge the subs. I had my speaker wires in one + terminal and one - terminal and nothing in the remaining. The wire I cut at the headunit was my front left...

Yes all of the speakers are working correctly. I will check that wiring tomorrow. I don't have a multimeter but I have access to one so I will do that tomorrow as well.

Thanks for the response. Yes, the amp is powered on and I do have a green light on the amp that tells me it is in correct operation. I have my Rca cables from my amp to the loc and they're snug. I have speaker wire from my subs to my amp and they're in snug and clean. I have the power wire off...

Okay so I have everything hooked up. Again, I have a 2001 mercury grand marquis. Stock everything with 2 12" subs rated at 2500 watt rms and an amplifier rated for 2500 watts. I've read that the remote wire on my headunit is usually blue however, I found one article that said it could be blue...

Sorry. I was at work and was trying to write when I could. A friend started the install for me, but was called out of town. He ran the power on the right side under the trim guard in the channel. A hole was drilled in the firewall and the power wire is through. Speaker wires are on the opposite...

Getting amp and subs hooked up.

I had a friend helping me install my system. I have the subs and the amp in the trunk. I've got all of my wires ran and a signal converter tied in. Everything is stock. Stock headunit and stock speakers up front. It's a 2001 mercury grand marquis. The only piece I'm missing is a distribution...

I have not upgraded my battery or purchased a second one just yet. Yesterday I had my wires ran. The 3000w 1/0 Guage amp kit from scar. I had some plywood cut to somewhat match the wall in my trunk. And mounted both of my amps to it. I have my woofers in the trunk as well. I'm actually hooking...

Thanks for your input. Something to consider. Definitely a drunken purchase lol. I don't have that much to play with, but I'm trying to find the balance between quality sound and preventing any issues with my car electrically.

This came up before I created this thread. Would this be suitable? 12V BCI Group 65 AGM Battery, Max Amps 3,900A, CA: 1100, Ah: 86, 3000W / 4000W Also, I came across this. Im not familiar with the brand although I do see it often in my searches. Thoughts? Power Acoustik CPAA-70D Subwoofer...

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Thanks for all of the advice Are there any kits for the big 3? Everything seems to be in kits nowadays. I can't see a name plate on the alternator but I looked on autozone for alternators for my vehicle and those are 130 amp and I saw that somewhere else online as well. It's stock at I assume...
