[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8149346, member: 655960"] More about the PAC (adapter). I would imagine that the speaker wires you have there are coming from the head unit and should be connected to the other end of the pac. You can connect the speaker wires to the woofer, one at a time and see if the head unit sends a signal to it with them connected. If so, then connect them to the PAC as noted on it's side and if it's not noted, Google PAC-SNI-35 wiring and find a wiring diagram. Then, follow the black wire and ensure that it is landed on a bolt that goes through the body of the car. The paint should be scraped down to bare metal where the ground lands. Then... check under the hood for the other end of the red wire and see if it's connected to a fuse and if the fuse is connected to the battery. If so, and there is a fuse in the fuse holder, remove it before doing anything else... in fact, do this before doing ANYTHING else to guard against shorting the wire and making a mess. Lastly, hook things up accordingly and then get someone to help you set the gains on the amplifier. If you don't have that someone and you don't have a volt meter, set the gain on the amplifier at one quarter turn. If the sub isn't loud enough... don't raise the gain level on the amp, get someone who has the correct equipment to set it for you. [/QUOTE]
