how do i hook up subs to the amp/headunit?

 

well that kinda broad. Need more details. Are you wondering how to wire the subs in the box? Cuz your h/u connects to your amp and the subs connect to the amp, but the subs dont connect to the h/u.

 

let me make it a little more straight forward. i get the wires from the subs to the amp right? do i plug it into the line in/out? what about all the other cables (ground,power,etc) also..what do i do with all the controls on the amp...like the *****?

 

okay..

The subs go to the speaker outputs L+,L-,R+,R- the terminals on the subs are also marked with + and - .

The inputs should rca connector wich you run a rca cable from your deck to the amp.

Remote wire is run from the back of the deck to the amp. It will be a blue wire on the back of any aftermarket stereo. Run this wire with your rca's. this is what turns the amp on and off.

12V + is run directly from the battery using at least an 8 guage wire and having a fuse within about 10 inches of the battery.

Gound is exactly that use the same size wire as your 12v + and connect that to a factory bolt or screw it in to a good solid part of the metal in your trunk

The adjustments you may see are HP LP or FULL this is a x-over for subs you want it on low pass (LP) this blocks higher frequencies from playing on you speaker. The **** rated in Hz is the frequency at which the blocking starts. Gain is kind of like your volume this adjusts the strength of the signal you get from your head unit.

 

hey thanks man. i just bought kit with all the wires. i bought the 2 channel one..is that gonna be ok?

 

Yeah should be fine, one other thing what are the model #'s of your subs and your amp? How many ohms are the subs? So I can tell you how to wire the subs to get the most power out of your amp.

 

i have the kenwood kac-7251 amp 800 watts. for the subs... my friend gave it to me and it has no name brand on it. they are 10 inch woofers. one of the subs are blown so i need to replace it. i'm gonna just replace both of them with mtx. i wanna hook up one of the working subs for now anyways though.

 

okay so get 8 ohm or dual 4 ohm voice coil. Let me know which you got and ill tell you how to wire them.

 

i just got two 10 inch mtx roadthunder 400 watt subs. i don't know how to tell if they are 8 ohm or dual 4 ohm voice coils.

 

what are the model #'s? and if you look at the back of the subs there should be either teminals on one side of the speaker only or on both sides. One side is SVC and both would be DVC
