no i dont. ill tell you how i think wireing goes just from observation no one ever really told me how it goes.

power negative/positive goes from the hood battery to both amps. rca/s go from the head unit to the amps. speaker wire goes from amps to the speakers. thats all i really know and i dont even know if thats right

Draw it out I can't express that enough, that way you can make a check list to make sure you don't leave anything out....

yeah you got it for the most part. You could run the ground from the amps to the frame of the truck instead of all the way back to the battery...

and don't forget the REM's from the amps to the HU.

make sure the amps are fused properly at the battery.

It's not difficult imo.

yeah subs is going to be in the back right seat and i think im giong to attach the amps to the sub box unless thats a bad idea

 

[LDW3RD 10+ year member]

right here or on top of the seat?

 

[helotr3vor 10+ year member]

i took that seat out

 

[LDW3RD 10+ year member]

cool. do you have space to fit both amps under the left side seat?

I'm not a big fan of mounting the amps on the sub box unless its the only option.

uhhh yeah i probably can i think im might have an idea ill make a drawling later

can build an amp rack under the seats if they fit if u guys think thats a better idea than on the box

 

[LDW3RD 10+ year member]

thats a great spot, especially if you can keep your amps unseen/stealth.

Do you have to leave the seat out if you build a amp rack there?

read this if you haven't already. get a heads up on what you will be dealing with.

no i dont think so theres enough room im prety sure. if it doesnt fit there then i can put it behind the seat back if all else fails

 

[helotr3vor 10+ year member]

i measured today and both amps wont fit under the seat so i was thinking about something like this



By helotr3vor

make an amp rack that attaches to the sub box so that all the wires can hide inside the box instead of free.

or is this a bad idea too?
