[QUOTE="Bumpin' Goalie, post: 6710142, member: 616941"] Insults are not necessary. Power needs to be from the pos. terminal on the battery to the power on the amp. Ground can be run either from neg. terminal on battery or chassis. Chassis is preferable due to its shorter length. To OP. 8ga should be fine. Make sure power wire is in the 12v+ terminal and the ground is in the ground terminal (obviously, just being thorough) Then with your speaker wire. Run from the + terminal on the amp to the 2 pos. connectors on the sub. I'm guessing there is 1 on each side of the woofer. And then run from the - terminal on the amp to the 2 neg. connectors on the sub. All should go well. I recommend keeping bass boost off (at least not alot plz) and set your gains appropriately. Also, your low pass filter is personal preference, however 60-80hz are good guidelines. Try not to interfere with what your front stage plays. Edit: Also, make sure the remote wire is in its appropriate place. [/QUOTE]
