HELP!!!!

cfprezskid · 10-01-08, 02:12 AM

ok guys and gals,

so as you know i have an amp and a power acoustik 4 gauge wiring kit, got all for free from stereotomy cuz i help them with some stuff, anyways, i need to know how to install the wiring kit to the car and to the amp, its kinda upsetting because i asked if they could help me do it, and they said for 200$ we can, it would cost me money because of labor.. well for 30 minutes of labor thats rediculous..

so i am wondering if any of you stereo guru's can help me here, this is my first time doing this..

Thanks

Ian

Are you using an Aftermarket radio or the factory?

So you help them do stuff, but you don't know what your doing? And not to mention they wont give you a hand with the labor? I'll def remember to tell family and friends back home to NOT go there....

ok i helped them move some stuff because there was just the manager there with a broken back, he couldnt bend down to pick stuff up so i offered to help, just being nice, in return he gave me a pioneer gm-5300T amp and a power acoustik 4 gauge wiring kit... but he said if i wanted it installed it would be 200$ because he needs to make money to keep up with everything.. which in return is fine by me because i got away with i would say close to 500$ worth of stuff free just for moving a couple boxes

Battery line (Red) touch to battery line (black) = you'll go deaf!

Honestly its not hard at all its cake, run a big wire from battery to amp, ground amp, wire subs/speakers to amp, buy harness/dash kit and your done.

Oh lol

Well then in that case hells yea!! That's a steal for a little bit of work.. Like stated above, its pretty cut and dry. Battery to amp, speakers to amp.. Done.. It should all be labeled on the amp itself or you can download a pdf from Kenwoods site I'm sure.. In fact, here ya go:

Ok I did a small sketch. Hope it helps. The positive wire goes from battery, to a fuse (you don't want your car to catch fire), to the 12v amp. The negative on the amp, you ground that any where on the car. Make sure the ground is short.

The HU will have a remote wire, which is sometimes blue. That wire goes to the remote section on the amp. When you turn on your HU, your amp turns on.

Run RCA cables from the HU to the amp. Then get some speaker wires, hook it up to the amp, to the subs. There you have it. Hope I helped out lol.

Ian, I can help you out with this if you have any q's.. Amp wiring is simple stuff. You shouldn't have too much trouble.
