Hooking Up New Amp

[RmL6636 10+ year member]

I have a 300 watt phillips amplifier on my 2 12's and i jus bought a 400 watt 2 channel for them i have a setup already with all the wires hooked up. To put the new one in can i just take the old one off and hook the same wires to the same ports as the other 1? jus put it in the other ones place. Or is there other settings that need to be changed? thanks for the help. im trying to do it tonight so any help would be great.

power goes from battery to amp. ground goes from amp to chasis. remote goes from power antena lead on radio to amp rca's are the music signal that go from radio to amp and speaker wire go to speakers. that is just basic explanation

Well My dad (whos car it is) told me it was run from the battery to the amp but he said he thinks there was somethin in the middle of the line about half way thru the backseat? like a circuit somethin he said... who knows but its basically battery to amp. can i still jus put the other one in its place?
