what up guys, its me again. I really want to get these babys in, but I dont know anyone who knows how to do it, and being a hs student, I dont have much money to pay for a professional service. If anyone could help me out installing my amp and subs next week, i would be very gratefull. I am willing to pay some cash, but am asking as more of a favor.

This is what I have

-pioneer 1000 watt amp
- 2 12" pioneer subs
-sub box

I dont have the wires yet, because i dont know what kind i need, but i will buy them as soon as someone tells me what kind i need.

please help and thanks alot guys.

first of all most 12" boxes arent gonna fit in the trunk, so most of us are getting them custom made boxes, not those generic boxes that you use. I am only gonna be using 1 12" (Mono it out) sub b/c it will be a lot lighter than 2 subs in the car. So that i can still embarrass other cars that try to race & have descent bass.

But what you need :
at least a 500 watt Amp kit (power, ground, remote, & speaker wires)
RCA converters (splice them coming from your rear speakers going into the amp)

Hopefully you know how to run them...

But since we cant put aftermarket decks, connect your remote wire to your cigaretter lighter back onto the amp...thats wat im gonna do...after i build my box
