[QUOTE="CobraRanger, post: 5400218, member: 605583"] The brand of wiring is scosche, its 5 ga. both power and ground wire. The power wire is ran through the firewall with a gromet in the hole of the firewall and underneath the carpet all the way to the amp, which is right behind the drivers seat. The amp is grounded about a foot and a half away from the amp to a seat frame bolt, and I just loosened the bolt and put the end of the wire under it and tightened the bolt making sure all the wire was under it. The remote wire is hooked up to the wire supplied by the radio just for the amp, and ran underneath the carpet back to the amp. There is also a couple other wires spliced into the switched wire for the radio, one is for the relay for my air compressor, and the other is for my air ride switches. Its a 2000 Ford ranger, and the battery is located above the drivers side tire in the engine compartment. I think the battery is a few years old. Im not sure if its the original one or not, but its a motorcraft, and i've heard of those lasting 7-10 years. Whenever my compressor for my air tank comes on (draws about 20 amps) it makes the headlights (before I got h.i.d. headlights) and interior and dash lights dim for a half second. I checked the alternator output and its right around 14 volts. [/QUOTE]
