[QUOTE="doox00, post: 7629545, member: 608758"] If you are hooking up to stock radio you need to get speaker wire from your deck (or perhaps tap off of your rear deck stock speakers) to input into your amp (high level/speaker level input, not the rca inputs). You will need to run power to the amp, I am sure 8 gauge is more than enough for that amp, you need to run that from the battery, positive lead, to the trunk/amp. Put an inline fuse just after the battery, like 40-60 amp would be fine. Put another fuse before it goes into the amp in the trunk as well. Run a ground from the amp (again 8 gauge should be fine) to ground in the trunk somewhere, find a bolt to bolt the ground to. You will need a remote turn on as well.. that turns the amp on when it gets signal from that wire.. a wire that only gets power when either the key is turned or the radio is turned on. Not sure if your factory deck has a remote turn on lead, can use power antenna lead to sometimes as well. run speaker wires from amp to subs.. see if your amp has a cross over in it as well, to cut out highs, low pass option. Hope that helps a little manual to your amp [URL="http://www.voxxsupport.com/images/User%20Manuals%20-%20FAQ%27s/LXA600_DOC_OM.pdf"]http://www.voxxsupport.com/images/User%20Manuals%20-%20FAQ%27s/LXA600_DOC_OM.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
