[QUOTE="ChrisK, post: 1970364, member: 212551"] Go to ebay for a used deck. Found a sweet Alpine for 50 bux the other day. You will need a new wiring harness for your deck(all color coded hook ups) Then for your amp and subs you need an amp wiring kit from wal mart or something(get harness while there too) Install the deck and take your long blue/white stripe wire from your amp kit(remote amp turn on wire) and hook up to your new wiring harness and run to your amp will be. Then you will need your ground wire from the kit and hook it to a grounded spot on your cars chassis and run to amps negative terminal. Then take your red 12 volt power wire and run from amp to batterys positive terminal but dont connect it without a fuse first(comes in kit) Then after you mke sure nothing is touching hook up positive to battery positive and test amp and see if your power light comes on. If it dont your ground/black wire isnt to a proper ground. After its powered on you can hook up subs. Youll have two i assume so its easy. From amp you have a pos and neg. terminal for each speaker so run speaker wire from there pos. to pos. and neg. to neg. and test them to see if they work and put them back in box. NOTES: For a good job tuck all your wires under your cars trim to hide well. 2. Hook everything up and test along the way b4 putting anything in its resting place. 3. Do not turn the gain on your amp up all the way it will ruin the amp. 3/4 is sufficient [/QUOTE]
