[QUOTE="evamodel00, post: 8188946, member: 658558"] Hey all, Following up on a previous thread my speaker install turned into quite the project. i am going to be adding a 4-channel amplifier, 10'' subwoofer, a new sony head unit, and a front pair of component speakers. I have never installed an amplifier but I doubt it will be too crazy. I've given all of crutchfield's documentation a read. Just had a question on the power wiring. I know that I have to run the power wire/fuse to the positive battery terminal but I also know that I need to run the control wire up to the head unit as well. Crutchfield's documentation stated that I should tap into the wire and solder it in. However, the documentation stated "[B]This wire is generally blue[/B]". I guess i'm a bit scared by that because what if my wiring happens to be the different one which contradicts "generally"? I have a 2013 lancer. Normally, I'd look at an electrical diagram to confirm this, but I have never had to work with a vehicle fuse box. Am I looking for anything specific? Any specific fuse number? type? A little advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
