[QUOTE="Merc5, post: 8775147, member: 684400"] Thanks again for your replies. My buddy that originally started the install with me showed up this morning to complete it. I needed to bridge the subs. I had my speaker wires in one + terminal and one - terminal and nothing in the remaining. The wire I cut at the headunit was my front left speaker lol. So much for Google searches. We found, by accident, a wiring diagram for my vehicle. We tied the remote wire into the ignition wire. Let me ask this, what would I need to do to wire in a Toggle switch for on and off for my amp? I don't necessarily want it powered at all times which it is if my ignition is on and I don't really want it on when I turn my radio on because I'm stock in everything else. So if I'm interstate which is the majority of my traveling I won't really be booming I'd just have the volume at a comfortable level. I also get some clipping at higher volume levels, but if I turn my treble down it seems to be okay. The settings on the amp were adjusted only slightly. Not maxing it out. But damn do these things thump. I've watched videos and read reviews but in person it is entirely different. I'll start tuning it more once I do some more upgrades. So far I don't have any dimming issues or voltage drops. Then again, I just got it up and running this morning. Will see how my battery holds up. That's another reason I'd prefer not to have the amp powered at all times. It does get hot. Anyways, thanks again for the assistance. [/QUOTE]
