Hooking up subs and amps

[JDM CB7z]

any body have ne good links or pics on how to hook up subs and amps directly to the deck? i been readin on the internet, but couldn't find anything that helpful. i can connect it externally, hooking the amp up to a switch, and then to my battery.

thnx

Connect the remote wire from the deck to the remote wire to the amp. Remote wires are usually blue. Then just find a way to hide the wires.

thnx. so instead of connecting a wire from the positive to the remote within the amp, i would do a direct connection to the deck. that wouldn't eliminate the line level and stuff tho right, my other setup with the rca conversion is needed?

Your amp should have a slot for the power wire and a separate slot for a remote wire. Remote wire powers the amp when the headunit is on so its not on constant as if you were to power it from the battery. RCA should be the same as running the remote wire.

Lol...that diagram rules! how much more basic can you get?

[StockAccord]

Easiest way of explaining it is..Blue wire from deck goes to remote on amp, positive goes to Plus on battery, and ground goes to any metal on the car..

is the capacitor "required" when hooking up a sub? I currently have a bazooka sub and its making like a "thud" "thud" noise continously. when I lower the sub volume it goes away. when I remove the rca feed it still makes that sound. anybody have an idea what is it?

You need to make a better ground point. Where ever you have your amp grounded, remove it, sand the paint down to the metal and reground it. Also be sure the terminals are tight and not loose.
Hope this info helps.

---> You should always put a fuse right off the bat.+ won't short or kill your amp,


--->The caps just help not go through altinators so fast

If your pumping your music and you lights dim abit then i would get a capacitor,
And makes your bass sounds more solid, because its not running out of power
