wow, ok.
youll have to run 3 wires to your trunk, one from your battery( get an in-line fuse to be safe), a remote turn on for the amp, and RCA's. first run the power wire, the one from the battery, down throught the firewall and back to the trunk, run it and hide it any way you want, next if you have a aftermarket head unit, get a diagram of your harness and find the remote turn on. most likely it will be blue, or blue w/ white strip, connect a wire to that, most kits have a wire designated for remote(again probably blue) and run that to the trunk as well. again, hide where ever you want. the last wire you have to run back to the trunk are your RCAs, those plug right into the back of your H.U. if its aftermarket. run those to the trunk and again, hide where you want. now that you have those three wires in the back, on the amp will be two plugs for the RCA's, one red and one black, plug the rca's into the LINE-IN. next you will have three connectors, POWER,Remote, and Ground. connect the power(12v) to the power connecter, normally takes an allen wrench. next take the remote and hook it up the same way. last you need to take a piece of wire and use it as a ground, get a connect on one end( the Ring type that u bolt down, and find a good spot on the body(accesible but not visible) and stripe the paint to bare metal for best ground, next hook up your ground. now the subs are very easy, simple get some 12/24 gauge wire and hook one to the positive and one to the negative. hook the positive wire to he positive side of the sub, and vis versa for the negative. any questions? dont ask me how to hook up with BOSE headunit cause im havent had to deal with that piece of junk. im only 17 so cut me some slack too if my directions arnt the best.
