  • Wire me up!!!

    I am just now installing two new amplifiers and i am running amp wires for the first time. I have no clue how I am supose to attatch this to my battery since i have the side attatch positive and negative terminals.

    Pictures would be great if you have them.

    Thanks

    you should have a little red box on the fender of the passenger side. That is where I got my power source from for my system.

    Where you mounting the amps?

      Other option is to buy a replacement terminal that has a bolt on the end that you can attach your amp wires too. Unfortunately I don't have any pics on my computer. I'll try to remember to take a pic tomorrow of my truck and post it.

        Yep thats how I do it.

        Its a replacement terminal with a short stud and nut where you can put accessory wires onto.

        Couple creds at the auto store.. just ask to look through the catelog and pick the one that would work best for your car.

          he already has the needed terminal for it on his passenger fender, I checked his garage pics of his engine bay. Same as mine. Just has to connect to the red box on the fenderwell and he is good to go

            Yeah..but if he's already ran the wires on the passenger side of the vehicle to the battery that doesn't do much good since it's on the other side of the engine bay.

              that makes no sense because the red box is on the passenger side.

              you later model guys have them on the drivers side. Not us 93-97 v6 guys

                    I was going by my car. Didn't know they were different on the older cars. I had thought it was on the drivers side on my 94's but that was years ago I owned them.

                      I haven't started the install yet but the amps will be in the way rear attatched to a extended amp rack (which i was planning on purchasing from you Travis if you still have them).

                      I was planning on running the power line up the passanger side but i did not know that the Red positive terminal on the passanger side could be used for that. Cool. that will definatly work.

                      I was wanting to also double check the wiring kit that Crutchfield sold my.

                      I bought the Rockford Fosgate CP4DCKS Dual Amplifier Wiring Kit 4 gauge Power to power the Kicker ZX350.4 60W x 4 Car Amplifier and the Kicker ZX400.1 200W x 1 Car Amplifier.

                      Should that wiring kit be sufficant or is it to small.

                          How much are the extended amp racks?

                          At this point I do not have any type of amp capasitor installed.

                          What is the maximum amount of amp wattage can be installed before a higher cappasity alternator must be installed?

                            How do you get the wire threw the firewall? I was thinking of drilling a whole threw the firewall.

                            Another question. What sould i use for an RCA input (connector thingy)

                              I am going to be using the rubber grommit behind the PCM on the passanger side to run my wire through the firewall.

                              Twisted pair RCA patch cable is usualy the most recomended.
