ive read thru the threads and so far ive got these bits of info

1. run the power for amp thru the fire wall behind the washer fluid reservoir or thru the rubber approx. 6 inches away from the washer fluid route.

2. run the remote line off of an ignition controlled 12v. line like the rear "cigarette lighter" plug.

so now i have power to my amp and a switch (ignition) what do i do next?!?!? (as far as speakers go)

umm, wire them to the amp.

Take i to someone so they can hook it up for you by the sounds of it.

Actually the Rubber Grommet is on the driver side, the Washer fluid is on the Pass side.

The pass side is shorter but you have to drill through the firewall
the driver side is longer, but no drilling.

But yeah we have to know what you want to do in order to give you advice on it.

i am asking how i hook up the speakers to the amp

somewhere i read that you should slice the RCA wires and solder them to the rear speakers is that a good idea or no?

and what do i do with the amp thats in the back of the rx8 by the rear speakers

it would be great if you could just direct me to a thread that has step by step instructions otherwise just tell me here

and dont tell me to hae someone else do it because i can its just i need someone to tell me how to do it.

wow i sound like the biggest noob ever...w/e...plz help

Start with what kind of speakers you have, where you plan on placing them, size, specs etc. Then detail what amp you have, if possible take a photo or two and try to explain what you're hoping to do where, and you should get some good advice.
