For your HU:

Red - 12v power

Black - Ground

For your amp:

RCAs - from the HU

12+ - power from the battery

Ground

Speaker output -> crossover -> midbass and tweeters

Remote comes from a blue cable in the HU

The x-overs,mids,and tweets will run from either the 2 speaker wires from the HU or 1 channel (2 wires) from the amp, they will plug into the x-over and then the mid and tweet are wired from there out. the only thing running from the HU to the amp should be a remote wire and either 1 rca with 4 plugs or 2 sets with 2 plugs. from there get an amp kit,run the power from the battery to the amp,ground the amp as close to itself as possible and preferably to the car body (or run a ground from the battery to the amp as some on here suggest) then just run the wires from the amp to the speakers OR back up to the dash and hook the speaker wires from the amp to the factory speaker wires that are not being used by the Hu anymore as this simplifies having to run wires to 4 seperate doors and/or panels in the car...of course you'll also wanna buy the dash-trim kit and wiring harness for your car so it's plug-n-play. it's kinda late so i hope this makes sense? if not shoot me a pm with your email and i will gladly send some detailed but easy to read/follow wiring diagrams. i know the first time can be a pain in the a$$ sometimes so be patient bro.
