[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7464498, member: 576029"] the cable intercepts the audio signal and turn-on wire between the HU and factory amp. i agree this would make your life a lot easier. [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/21/!BT1rS-!Bmk~%24(KGrHgoH-C0EjlLlzVpnBKKl)mzQbQ~~_35.JPG[/IMG] you need to get a left/right audio signal from the factory head unit. you could use high level inputs or a LOC. you also need an amplifier turn-on signal from the factory head unit. this is typically more difficult to get and requires some basic knowledge of electricity. don't use an ignition wire for amp turn-on. i agree that cable is a good idea (assuming it does actually fit your year/make/model). you do still need to ground the amp to the chassis with the wire in the 4awg kit. that small signal ground is only for the turn-on signal (and may not even be needed).
