How Hard is.......

[mr bognor]

How hard is it to wire in a sub and amp in the boot of a car ? And What do you have to do Thanks .

 

[M1TCH]

extremely easy, not got one but helped a few mates with them because I own a brain lol. couldn't write you a good list so will leave that to someone else.

what car u got ??

u need a constant positive run from battery through firewall , through car to boot , to amp, a negative from amp to any metal on car, a remote wire to headunit (if aftermarket) , if not to a switched positive feed, also 2 rca leads from a after market head unit to amp, if its a standard hu then u need a speaker to rca converter.

its not too hard mate, u need a power lead down one side of the car (from the battery to the amp).. this line needs to be fused. u will then need to get an earthing point.. usually some part of the body work.. and attach that to your amp using a similar size wire to your power..

then you run the RCA leads and remote anntenna (thin blue one) down the other side of your car.. i tuck all my wires into the sills.. the hardest part is finding a way through to the engine for the power lead, but im sure someone on here will be able to help u find out where it is on your car..

what do you drive?

make sure the fuse is as close to the battery as possible.

cant beat a basic diagram! although certain conections of the sub depends on what sub/amp combo you got

 

[mr bognor]

Thanks Mate Just one more thing where does the blue wire conect to on the head unit ??? Thanks .

 

[Dan@SJM]

to the blue wire! and dont for get the RCA leads!

 

[wozzaa]

The one connecting to the headunit would go to the remote wire at the back.

 

[derv]

yes there should either be a blue wire saying "remote lead" or something like that or on some of the kenwoods there is just a peg on the back of the headunit, which u connect a spade connector to. best to check the head units manual, should tell you in there.

yeah if there is a blue one and a blue one with a white stripe

pick the white stripe one
