disregard the retard above. I'm sure he has a friend named Jose.
usual wires needed:
Power wires for amp from battery and frame(ground)
remote wire for amp from HU
rcas for amp from HU
in line fuse for positive power wire
speaker wire for subs from amp..
If you have a stock HU then you will need a LOC (Line out converter) instead of rca's (from HU)
-What power wire for the amp will depend on the amp...Most 4 channel lower powered amps will only accept 8 gauge wire or smaller.. (I would not go smaller)... Generally that amp would be for your mids/highs or a sub that has a very low power requirement.
Most Mono amps need 4 or 1/0 (thanks vato) gauge..
What is the exact model/brand of the amp? Sub(s)? What vehicle?
It will help me be more specific if you answer those questions. Good Luck |

again, need to know what the exact model the sub and amp is... Pioneer makes a few different 10" subs. There are many low powered 2 channel amps to guess.
lol Mark H.. I had it 0/1 gauge..at first...Won't be the last type-o that I make.... Especially when I'm as fucked up as I was last night.. lol |
