[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8188920, member: 650438"] These are the diagrams. your speakers are rated at 60 watts rms so if i were you i'd go with the 2nd diaghram wiring them to 8 ohms because the first option will give you 225 rms per pair will be too much for them to handle. [IMG]http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/2_4ohm_svc_2ohm.gif[/IMG] basically positives of each speaker to positive of amp and negatives of each speaker to negatives to amp. if you have speakers with higher power handling like around 100 watts rms, then i would switch to this wiring. [IMG]http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/2_4ohm_svc_8ohm.gif[/IMG] basically positve of one speaker to the positive of the amp and then Negative of the OTHER speaker to the negative of the amp. then link the remaining pos and negative of each speakers with a jumper/speaker wire. This is gonna take some work hiding the wires through the carpet and such so good luck! Front Left = front speakers Front right = rear speakers or vice versa have HPF anywhere from 63 to 125, normally 80 is a good choice since its your sub's LPF point Rear left and right = sub woofers each on their own channel as you said. Make sure you turn the LPF on and have it around 80hz for power and ground you don't need to run anything dealing with power and ground to your head unit. just hook the wire up positive of the batter to positive of the amp. Then use the negative battery terminal it'll be more stable then a body ground (less noise from ground loops) and hook it to the negative terminal of the amp. you'll have a 4 channel RCA signal wires in your amp wiring kit you will hook that into to the back of your head unit. This is what carries the audio signal from your head unit to the amp. [B]NOTE:[/B] Always run your power wires on a separate side from your RCA signal wires. so lets say i install the amp to my rear back seat, i'll have the power and grounds running through my driver's side and my RCAs running through from the passenger's side. If you dont do this, there will be a lot of noise in your system. Now for the Remote (blue wire). If you're using After market Stereo there will be a blue wire coming from the wire harness in the back, mostly these are attached so you have to splice, just snip them and tape off the old end and run your remote wire to your amp. This will tell your amp when to turn on or off. for the kit you'll want 4 gauge wiring to match your amp's requirements.
