hey idesignboxes do you actually want to help or be the forum ******* of the night?

first off, timebomb, do you have the stock HU or a new one installed? I would assume you have a stock hu because you want to run it off your current setup. They make adapters for your stock hu but i'm not knowing in that area. one thing you want to look at is what is your wire setup right now?

you should have:

power wire from battery

ground wire (grounded good on a frame bolt, i'm not so sure you want to ground that to the antenna)

remote wire (this turns the amp on and off with the head unit)

rca signal cables (this sends the music to your sub)

Usually when people use the high level inputs that hints that they have a stock HU

OK everyone listen i have a stock H.U all i wanted was more bass i wanted a little rumble in my stock unit i finall figured out that i have the speakers going in a output so i cut sum rcs cables ran rca from the speakers lows Land R to the rcs input rear speaker then i did sub output and nwo it works but when i turn up the bas and stuf fon the amp nothing really happens my system in my car is better without the bass then with something depleating my sound. what if i bought a new head unit

Also that guy who didnt even try to help just said WTF are u serious ur and idiot why post to bash people help or dont.

if i bought a new deck a cheap like 50 dollar one how do i plug it in the back of my speaker cause in my care i have this giant plug with like 9 wires going in it and then one wire on the right of the back of the h.u, But can i buy something to just plug that plug into and have rca cables? or would i run each indivdual wires
