[QUOTE="Hulk311, post: 7812238, member: 616331"] I am having a hard time figuring out how to install my new system. Here are my components: [LIST] [*]Kenwood Excelon X494 [*]Clarion EQS746 1/2 DIN Graphic Equalizer with Built-in Crossover [*]1 pair of CDT speakers [*]IDQ 12" Sub [*]4 channel hifonics amp (an old one, not one of the current ones that aren't as good) [/LIST] Also, I will be hooking up my iPhone to the deck as well, not sure if that matters with the setup or not. I have three question: [LIST=1] [*]How exactly do I hook up all of the RCA cables (Seems like there's a lot of different ways, which one would be the best)? [*]Do I set the equalizer on the Kenwood deck or the Clarion? [*]Correct me if i am wrong but I think I can set the gains on the deck, equalizer, and the amp? Which component should I do this on? [/LIST] Also I'd like some clarification on how to hook up three wires from the equalizer: ground wire power wire Remote turn on Can I hook up the power wire from the equalizer to the headunit power wire instead of the car battery? Do I just splice the two wires together? The remote turn on wire, is that part of the wires that comes with the headunit or do I have to buy this wire? [/QUOTE]
