Do I connect the power wire to the positive side of the battery or negative? Also should I disconnect the other side of the battery while doing this?

dude are you kidding, you are hooking up a system and you are not sure if the power wire goes on the positive or negative terminals. did you read up on any of the how to on GOOGLE.

quick rundown

disconnect negative terminal,

run 1/0 gauge power wire from positive terminal to fuseholder with 18", fuse with a 250 amp fuse,

run a 15' or what ever you need from the fuseholder under the hood to the back

run the wire into a FUSED distribution block

pick the right size fuse,

run wire from distribution block to amp.

run ground, check resistance, if need be run ground from the front but no need to use a fuse holder within 18" just a straight run to a NON-FUSED distro block

run RCA, run remote from HU

mount amp, tune it, wire it correctly for OHM load.

the red wire goes to the neg your power wire that is goes to the neg and your black wire, ground goes to the pos post, reverse polarity is how its supposed to be is the correct term

yup and please make sure you install a flux capacitor or you will have dimming issues no joke, get the biggest one you can fit, put it on a credit card if you need they are pricey but well worth it. Don't waste time with HIGH OUTPUT ALTS, get three flux capacitors and you will be rocking out with your **** out,

What fuckers. Faiz you need to relax and get off your pedistol. Not everyone knows as much as you.

Dubedub, they're telling you how to do series- 24v. BAD.

It is positive to positive and negative to negative. Make sure you put a fuse close to each positive connection.

i am not trying to claim i know everything but i do know how to use GOOGLE and search

if you have like 800+ posts(not you but the OP), i would imagine you know which terminal the power wire goes to. I would not feel comfortable running a system without even knowing the basics. At least research and find some threads or guides of people showing their build logs so you can see how the install pans out.

either way no hard feeling just trying to help the community and i will try to be a little bit more laid back and not aggressive lol.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
