installing Amp & Subwoofer

[JDMFantasy2k]

If you really don't know what you're doing or don't know what ohms, volts and amps are then i presonally suggest you just spend the money and have it installed professionally. There's nothing worse than trying to do it yourself and screwing up a sub, or blowing an amp, just because you don't know what your doing, or because you accidentally screw something up.

but...
if you're really determined to do it yourself or because of cashflow reasons, you need to figure out what size wiring kit you need for your amp, based on how many amps your amp draws. I'd try calling crutchfield.com and telling them what you have and asking what size kit is good. Then connect the power wire to the positive terminal of your battery WITHOUT the fuse in it. Then find a good ground in your trunk. Connect both to your amp in the respective place and run a remote power wire from your deck's 12v pre out. After that run your patch cables to your amp, hook up your subs, make sure the gain is all the way down and finally plug in the fuse. Then turn it all on and see if you have power. If so go ahead and tune it and finish hiding any wires etc. That's basically a quick install, more detailed ones will sometimes have bass boost remotes and i wired my wires through stock holes in my firewall and ran the wires under my door sills, kick panels, and seats. good luck
