Default Amplifier

I wanna install an amplifier for my speakers. I wanna get either a four way for all 4 speakers or a 2 2-ways, one for the front speakers and one for the back speakers. The speakers are after-market i think its pioneer speakers. I don't remember the RMS for the speakers. How can i install the amplifier(s). How can i hide the wires from the amp to the engine/deck? TIA

Go with a 4channel, they are a better deal. Also , yes you can hide the wires. Run them under your carpet. Find a hole in the firewall of your car. If you cant find one, youll have to drill it. dont do that ghetto crap by wiring thru the door and inside the fender. That is just retarded.

the thing i don't get about running wires under the carpet is how do i get it in the carpet, do i cut it? The second thing is how do i control where to wire goes when i run it through the carpet, won't the wire just go where ever it wants?TIA

You have to take off surrounding paneling in some areas. You need to pull a little bit of carpet back just enough to stuff wire down it, run it on the perameters of he car, i.e. under side panels and other plastic stuff that is on one side. Aviod something pinching the power wire or RCA wires to metal because it will cause interference that we call "road noise". It is a sound that you can hear your car's engine running thru your speakers.

How exactly do i wire the amp? Do i just connect the amp to the speakers and the speaker wire to the amp? Or is there a special way to wire the amp.

no cutty...no no cutty..ghetto install...

the running boards on the inside of your door on the floor pop up easy with a bit of force..run ur wires under those and inside the pannals..you will start to see where when u are doin it. MAKE SURE you keep the power wire on the opposite side of the car from the rca's and remote wire.

the hole in the fire wall should be a rubber plug under the driver or passinger dash..alot of times tward the middle of the car. its easier to look that way then throught the motor if you dont know what ur lookin for
