[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8810119, member: 656095"] There is a few issues that you will need to address before you are up and running. If I were standing beside you looking at the trunk I would recommend that you take the amp and head unit out and redo the wiring. This isn't meant to be criticism so dont take it that way. I am thinking about the safety of your equipment and your vehicle. So let's address a few points before the savages come out of their caves. 1. Wire nuts are not the best to secure twisted wire. In a house they work but we need to think about vibration, stopping and starting. If you can't solder you can twist the wires and apply electrical tape to them. It's not the best option but it can and will work if done properly. Heatshrink works too and can be shrunk by lighter, hair dryer, etc. 2. We need to find you some connectors and a pair of crimpers to terminate the wires for the amplifier. It only takes one strand of copper to short an amp. Also you need to find a secure place to mount the amp to and secure the sub. You don't want it to fly around if you have to make a sudden stop. I can make you a list of things you'll need if you would like and it shouldn't be too expensive. Kev By the By. What's that ground look like or did I miss it in the photos? [/QUOTE]
