Re: amplifier and sub install (mmajedi)
do you have a stock HU (radio)? or an aftermarket one?
If you have stock, you will need a LOC (line out converter) or a clean sweep, both of these turn your speaker level inputs into an RCA signal which you will need for your sub setup.
If your after market, what radio do you have? most likely you will have a set of sub pre-outs in this case.
Either way, you will need to run the power wire from your battery back to the area where you willl be running the amp, in that power wire you will need an inline fuse within 12" of the battery. You will also need to ground the amp to the chassis within 24" of the amp. Its best to run RCA's and power wires on the opposite side of the car. Another thing you will need to run is the remote wire, if you have an aftermarket HU chanes are it will have one, if your still stock you can get a LOC which has one built in.
For future refernce use the BIG RED SEARCH BUTTON on the top of the forum, its your friend.
I was just bored...But with this info you should be able to hook up your stereo
OUt of curiosity what subs/amp did you buy?

An amplifier wiring kit is really helpful. Usually comes with:
-Power wire
-Ground wire
-Remote Wire
-Speaker wire
-Fuse (sometimes built into the power wire)
-Terminal ends
-Wire cutter would also be convient.
2.) Go to http://www.crutchfield.com They have write-ups and installs that are model specific.
Just some tips, make sure where you connect your ground wire, the bolt is scraped off real good. Getting a good ground connection is key.
