am I installing this 4 channel/hu/sub correctly Big install day today first EVER

[mdsniper7 10+ year member]

ok so I have everything from wire to new hu to speakers to 4 channel amp etc.

First there are wires from my speakers that would normally go to the door panel speaker wire clip, however I wouldnt use that now and would now run speaker wire from the speaker directly to the amp now instead correct?

Second once the wires are to the amp I take the rca from the amp and run that to the hu along with the remote switch?

third? How would I get the front speaker wire to the back where the amp is without having to step over a cable when I open the door?

fourth, is it safe to mount a amp to the back of a car seat?

5th, how do I make a relay for my pioneer dvd so it will play while driving?

6th, is it import to run power wires oppiste of rca wires?

I drive a 08 honda fit so thank u also whats better crimping wires or taping

Yes to all,

run your speaker wire through the wetboot on the inner part of the door then run it along the lower trim or however suits you best.

pretty sure this is the relay you need to watch videos.

I have an 08 fit also and mounted my amp on the back of my box. I would much rather mount it on the back pf the seat but on our cars the back is squishy and I didn't think it would keep the amp in place for long. Goodluck with your install!!

How much power are you running? Depending on power, the speedwire may be easier. If higher power, you'll be loosing out.
