Answer 3

you will need a power and a ground wire, also a remote wire to tell the amp to turn on (and RCAs to send the audio signal from the radio to the speakers)

when you pick your power/ground wires make sure that they are thick enough, here is a chart to help http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/S-AMNf... always go one size larger in case you want to upgrade at a later date

the ground wire goes from the amp to a ground point in your car- any metal that is directly connected to the cars chassis and is thick enough

the power wire goes from the battery (with in in-line fuse to protect your system within 12inches of the battery) through the car to the amp

and the RCAs and remote wire from the radio to the amp

Answer 4

It depends how much watts does your amp is. . . If its anything like 1500 watts or bellow, go ahead and power it from your car battery, the alternator should take care of that no problem. . . So just run the power cable from the car battery to the trunk (through inside the car) and you can ground it from any metal close to the amp. . .  (or just take it to an audio store and they can install it for you and save you all that hustle)

Answer 5

the only thing that supplies your amp with power is your battery and alternator.
