[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 8189801, member: 624844"] I should clarify, SOME dash kits include a wiring harness. It seems that a lot of the cheap kits made these days are only the panels or bezels for fitting the head unit itself, no harness included. Most wiring kits are available on Ebay or any major car audio retailer. The wiring kit has the plug for your factory wiring and you splice your harness that came with your head unit into the adapter kit harness. Its a good idea to use solder and shrink tube, but I have used butt connectors in the past... a 4ohm DVC sub can be wired to 2 ohms. You just wire the sub in parallel... + to + and - to -. Wiring in series would give you 8 ohms. Since your amp is 2 ohm stable, you could wire the sub to 2 ohms to get the most power out of your amp. Is the 2 ohm for bridges or 2 ohms per channel? Some amps are stable to 2 ohms bridged, 1 ohm per channel. Other amps are stable to 2 ohms per channel and 4 ohms bridged....VERY Important to check first. Here is the wiring diagram for your sub: [URL="http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=42#results"]http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=42#results[/URL] [/QUOTE]
