Wiring amp and subwoofers

Yeah, If you can wire your deck the amp and subs should be no prob. Just basically mounting the subs, mounting the amp, run the power wire to the battery, leave the fuse out for now, then your REM wire to the deck and the sub wires to the deck then hook up the fuse and it should be good to go.. There is plenty of diagrams online that show how to hook up everything

Good luck buddy, like I said you can do this yourself pretty easily. It's a lot more simple than it looks

does anyone have a step by step on how to do this wiring?
this will be my first time. and i have no clue what i am doing. ive been told i have to run it through the firewall to the battery. so if anyone has a step by step. or even pictures of what it looks like i will have a better idea.
i plan on buying this wiring kit here.

i can post up pics of how mines done tomorrow if you wanna wait that long but basically it goes like this powerwire goes from battery to fuse to amp(ran thru firewall behind mastercylinder theres a black diamond shaped pc of plastic drill thru it run power thru rtv it after done)...blue remote goes from head unit to amp and ground goes from amp to truck chassis or ground spot....rca fromm head unit to input on amp and speaker wires from amp to subs now you gotta figure out are they 2 ohms or 4 ohms and if your bridging.....make sure you hide all wires and run rca's away from power or youll have a whine in your subs sounds crappy but .......good luck lemme know if you need more help....
