go buy a full amp kit from the store,any car audio place should have one.it should come with 5 wires,-power wire,ground wire,rca wires,rem wire and speaker wire.it should also come with a fuse box with a fuse in it.the power and ground wires should be the biggest wires,the power is longer than the ground wire.connect the power wire to the positive battery terminal and connect the other end to the place on your amp it should be,it will usually say 12v above it.now cut the power wire in two somewhere under your hood with the battery disconnected.connect the fuse box between each piece of the power wireyou cut .next is the ground wire.this wire needs to be connected to any thing metal on the cars chassis,like a bolt in your trunk or something.make sure you sand the paint off of anything metal u connect it to for better current.now connect the other end to the amp.the rem wire is the really really skinny one.connect one end to the fuse in your fuse box that says radio or cigarrete lighter,and the other end to the amp.this is what will turn on your amplifier when you start the car.rem is short for remote.rca wires are two wires connected with plugs at the ends,connect them to the back of your cd player,red into red white into white obviously,and the other end to the amp,if there is more than one set of rca plugs on the amp.speaker wires go from the amp to your subwoofers,make sure none of your wires are much longer than you need them to be for the best sound.re-connect the battery...ok-troubleshooting

amp wont turn-try different grounding spots,make sure the battery connction is tight enough,try different fuses for the rem

how do i get the power wire into the car?-look for a rubber area under the hood near your dash(firewall)poke a hole in it and run the wire through/or run the power wire behind your fender and pull it throug by the front door/or drill a damn hole somewhere

all my wires are showing and it looks like shit--pull off the panels on the floor under yor doors,they should snap off,run the wires underneath and put them back on.

damn im tired of typing-just ask me more questions if you need to
