what gauge wiring do you have? if your a noob at wiring amps better book in at audio shop, shouldnt cost more then $100, safer than tryin to do yourself...

if ya don't have the cash tho its pretty simple to do just check out the pic and look at the sub and amp wiring.

Make sure you disconnect the battery before doing anything... simple but a lot of people don't do it. Bye bye amp.

thats not the spirit!! only one way to learn.


wiring amps is a piece of piss.

blue trigger cable from the back of your head unit goes to the trigger input on your amp.
Run red power cable from your positive battery terminal, through a fuse (which you want as close as you can to the battery, this minimises chances of a short happening before the fuse) to your +12v terminal on your amp
Black ground cable goes from GND terminal on amp to any where on the body of the car. You can put it under an existing ground bolt (like near the tail lights in the boot for example), or drill a hole and put a bolt through it. what ever you do, make sure the area that you clamp the ground cable down onto is clean and paint-free (sand it back)

Hook +ve output from amp up to red on sub. hook -ve from amp to black on sub.

voila!

now go and enoy your favourite music with added bass

Yeah i agree with nicco lol, ive installed my amp/sub in my car twice and in other peoples and both times i managed to learn new tricks to make things better for next time It is easy once you do it for the first time.

thanks for the help guys all good workin
sounds mad
thanks again for the top info!
cheers:D

its not that hard mate...
you dont need to pay to do it..
just look at that diagram u got given and work of that

A couple of bits of advice for a novice, don't forget the fuse at the battery, disconnect the ground from the battery before you start, and the main thing before drilling and screwing into the car make sure you check behind what you are drilling or screwing, you don't want to drill into the fuel tank or a brake line etc.
As for the rest, take your time, make sure the cables don't pass through or over sharp metal edges and secure the cables so they can't flop around and rub on something.....

hey dude on the els if u look at the fire wall on drivers side theres a rubber gromit with a cable goin threw it may b lil diff depending on auto or manual i managed to get 0 gauge threw it i taped the 0 gage to some wire and pulled it threw, then u decide what side ur gonna run your wires and take off the bottem door plastics and tuck it under your carpet up against the seal and run your remote wire , take out the back seat, wen u fold you bak seats down the carpet unclips and run your wires under the carpet, i hooked me earth to the fold down seat bolts witch are hidden and sand around the bolt to bare metal, make sure u fuse in the bonnet your power cable, wen u hook it al up turn down the gain unless u want stuff to blow up and get some 1 who nos wat they r doin to tune your amps and hook up the wires cheerz mate need more details msg me im off to work sorry bout rushing this
