disconect negative battry cable
find place to mount amp, most common plac is in the trunk with the box and subwoofer(s)
run the power cable through the fire wall from the battery, and remove the molding down the passenger side (along the bottom ), hide the wire as much as possible, now fish it through to the trunk
remove all you to get to the back of the head unit, using rca patch cables, connect them, and run them down the opposite side of the power cable, doing the same as before, hiding the cable as much as possible, now with the head unit pulled out, conect a remote wire to either the power antenna wire or if your head unit has a designated amplifier hookup wire, hook it up there, run this with the patch cables
now replace all moldings
for the ground cable you might want to check in your spare tire well for a piece of medal attached to the frame, to be safe using brake cleaner and a razor blade clean the metal. drill a hole(not into the gas tank!) and use a bolt and a nut ant tighten the ground cable to the frame
connect the wires to thier appropriate place on the amp
put fuse in
turn car on, and leave the engine running
turn volume up to 2/3 of max
using you ears, turn the knobs on the back of the amp untill it sounds nice, when you get to that point, turn them down(on the amp) just like a mm, so that way it leaves room for error
voila, and it is done!

Not bad.
Don't forget to reconnect the negative battery cable before trying to start the car....
As for the remote wire, if you have a power antenna in the trunk then you can tap into it's signal wire here instead of running a seperate wire all the way to the deck.
AND CHECK THE STICKY's BEFORE ASKING SUCH BASIC QUESTIONS!!!
