[QUOTE="StrygwyrBS, post: 8179755, member: 657926"] I'll be nice... Power Supply: Run your positive cable from the battery to the amp. Find a spot in your car with a good ground (metal chasi) Drill a hole in that area for a screw to fasten down your ground wire. Hook both up to your amp to check if the amp is working. Disconnect Both wires Sound: DO NOT install your subwoofer until you buy your stereo. Install Stereo. Connect the positive and negative RCA cables into your stereo and run the wires through the car (on opposite side that you ran your power supply). Connect the RCA cables into your amp. next i want you to google "subwoofer wiring diagrams" use the crutchfield .com diagrams to determine how to wire your subwoofer. Wire the subwoofer and drill it into the box. Connect your positive and negative wires from your sub box into your positive and negative receptors on the amp. Reconnect your power supply wires Done ^That's just basic installation, but to answer more of your questions.... There's different types of amplifiers. Some of them have several channels. You can get a 3 channel amp 1)Front 1)Back 1)Sub Or you can get 2 amps Mono amp for subwoofer 2 channel amp for smaller speakers You kinda need to come up with a game plan of what you really want cuz there can be a few ways to do it. You didn't give us any important information as to what kind of subs you have. Are they dual or single voice coil? What's the impedence in ohms? All of that determines how you wire it. [/QUOTE]
