[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8667020, member: 576029"] Items you'll need: Tools - specifically electrical tools for working with wiring and associated connectors. Soldering is preferred over crimp connectors, but both can work if done right. I have some electrical connection how-to in my YouTube channel. A decent set of crimpers is necessary. Wiring Methods - the way you make connections is vital to the success of the installation. My build logs may give you some ideas. www.bcae1.com is a good resource for each component and details. Vehicle Disassembly - you will want to find instructions on vehicle disassembly for installing speakers and running wiring. You'll need to snag the signal from the factory radio and getting behind the radio is a good way to do that. Fabrication - you will want to mount the amps to something non-conductive (i.e. carpeted wood) so you don't bond the amp chassis to the vehicle chassis. Only the amp ground terminal should be bonded to the chassis. Diagrams - the instructions on each of the components will have wiring diagrams. it may help you to draw a diagram of everything you need to connect a head of time. It appears you plan on using the factory speaker wire, which is doable. [/QUOTE]
