Re: basic audio help
The fuse on the amps power cable is to protect the power cable and in so doing, protect the car from burning to the ground.
A shorted out amp power lead that is not fused will get red hot instantly, burn off the insulation, and ignite anything combustible around it.
You should use an ANL fuse... http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID.../productID/781 of the proper amperage for the power cable gauge you are using.
Amp control lead, [remote wire] should be connected to the HUs, [deck] harness, blue/white lead, [the blue lead is for power antenna].
You should remove at least the pass. seat and you will have to remove the rear seat if amp is not being mounted under the pass. seat, the amps RCA leads should be run down the center of the car, the amps power lead should be run on same side of car as the batt., [mostly on the pass. side] and once carpet is moved away from rocker panels, [door sill] it will be easy to see how to run the power cable. 94

Re: basic audio help
your fuse should be attached as close to your battery as possible so if it blows you dont hurt anything else. it should also say on the bottum of back of the deck should tell you want color the remote wire is as far as i know i believe its the blue and white wire that u attach ur solid blue wire back to your amp.An easy way to hide your wire is go underneath your vechicle or you could also take of the side panels and stick tightly and nicely in there but make sure you done have the power wire and rca cables wired on the same side it can cause static in the amp and makes the sub hummmm split it up on each side of the car with rca and remote wire and then power wire on the other side.. hope this helps
