Help installing amp

[sort_o_sane]

If you have the stock deck there will not really be any way to properly install any amp with out the splicing of wires. Even some aftermarket decks need some custome wiring techniques.

A strong suggestion for tools would be a volt meter, it can help you figure out a remote wire from the back of the headunit, unless you want to try running a power switch. Not sure how much you know so I will explain:
Remote wire from Headunit turns on amp when car is on, and turns off amp when car is off. Personally I don't like amps running when the car is not, so I spliced some wiring to create a remote wire from the stock deck and because I would not remember to turn off the switch. Let me know if you need pics, I can get you some from when I did mine, but you will definitly need a volt meter to do it right, your wiring harness might be different in some freakish slight way, I dunno, I have the 07 LB.

And SiliconRain is absolutly right about getting a 4-channel amp kit and LOC. I got my LOC cheap and good from Wal-Mart of all places and just need to figure out where I am going to mount. The amp kit I picked out from an electronics wholesaler when I lived in SoCal.

If you don't know what specs for wire gauge you will need to try searching for details about the amp online or just wait. However if you cannot wait, go to any electronics shop and ask for a 4-channel amp kit for however many watts you amp hits total, worst comes to worse you round up some. The papers that come with amps explain minimum standards needed to run the amp. The whole process should not take more than 4-5 hours to get this all done even if you have not done it before. Thinking about it if you need any pics for this project I could probably set you up, let me know.

Good Luck
