What are you going to use the amp for? Are you adding a sub? Or is it for your highs and mids? What model headunit do you have? Adding an amp is pretty straight forward. You will need to run power, ground, turn on lead and rca's. The power comes straight from you battery and fused within 18 inches of battery. Ground should be as close as possible to your amp. finding a good ground can be tricky at times. The turn on lead will be run from your headunit to your amp. You can usually tap into the power antenna wire coming out of your headunit for this. There are a lot more variables, but without knowing what the amp will be used for and what kind of headunit you have it is hard to get specific. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/toast.gif.bc0657bf54b9ee653b6438524461341e.gif
