quote: usually, alot of amps these days will accept 4gauge, fair enough there are still a few that dont and maily on the smaller ones, but the point i was getting was to run as big as gauge cable from battery, mainly to protect you in the future - so wack 4 gauge in and you will be alright in the future, if you want to get a bigger amp/sub/more amps etc system. And tbh, it wouldnt hurt if he had to get a dissy block, keep things nice and tidy :thumbs: | |

basically, connect the amp to the battery, using 4gauge cable, then connect it to ground (rear seat belts are pretty good, again use 4gauge). Then run a RCA cable from your HU preout (make sure its the right one if you have a number of them) to the amp. Then get some NEW, decent quality speaker cable, go from amp to 6x9s. Simple mate :) | |

so connect old standard speaker wire from old speakers to amp, then wire up new speakers to amp, the RCA to the h/unit, the power to battery? |
