[QUOTE="johnson, post: 1414972, member: 562756"] You should have gotten a D2 version of that subwoofer, not a D4. That amp puts out 150W/channel @ 4 ohms and 350W @ 1 ohm. 1. Firewall - The "wall" between you and the engine 2. Ground - Your whole car is grounded. One of the cables from your negative battery terminal is connected to your frame 3. Power wire - This is where your amp is getting it's power. You need to run this from your battery to the amp. When going through the firewall, put on a grommet so it doesnt have a chance of tearing and touching the metel of the firewall. 4. Fuse - This protects the wire in case of a short. The fuse should be as close to the battery as possible. 5. Speaker wires - Connect your subwoofer to the amp 6. Ground - Connect a wire from your amp to the chassis of a car. DO NOT use a seat belt bolt. Sand the paint off in an area to your liking and use a screw to bolt it down 7. RCA - This is how your subwoofer will get it's signal. Connect this to head unit (hopefully it has a subwoofer preout) and the the amp. 8. Remote wire - This is how your amp knows when to turn on. It sends a small signal every time the HU is on. The amp kit you bought (if you havent yet) should include everything needed.
